ISO 27001 Gap Analysis

Teamwork’s high level ISO 27001 Gap Analysis compares existing core processes, practices and documentation with the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard, and other ISO standards if applicable. It identifies where the organisation meets requirements of ISO 27001 and where there are gaps. We then give recommendations on resources and actions needed to fill these gaps as well as the timescales necessary to achieve ISO 27001 certification.

During the ISO 27001 Gap Analysis, a high level review of your existing information security documentation is carried out to establish whether or not it is appropriate and reflects current practice. Any changes required to support improvements in line with best practice and the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard are identified.

Once we have completed the ISO 27001 Gap Analysis we prepare a detailed report and present the results to your senior management team. The report will clearly identify where you are meeting the requirements. It will also pinpoint gaps, with recommendations on the actions you need to take to fill them and a realistic timescale in which ISO 27001 certification can be achieved.

Teamwork will prepare a comprehensive project plan covering the subsequent stages of the ISO 27001 implementation programme. This will include details of project actions, ownership and timescales, and will form part of a Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP). This would be maintained up to and beyond ISO 27001 assessment and would be continually updated and developed as a business management tool.

Our knowledge and experience across a broad base of management and technical Standards makes us uniquely equipped to help organisations to conduct an ISO 27001 Gap Analysis, develop an information security management system and integrate with existing management systems to achieve all the associated economies and efficiencies in the system design, implementation and maintenance.

This experience, and the huge success of both the project delivery and maintenance phases of our standards-based practices, has been firmly based on two key principles: the ability of Teamwork consultants to look beyond the standard in question and identify, define and align with the real business drivers of our customers, and our innate ability to become one with our customer’s own management teams.

Our team of experienced information security consultants have helped an extensive array of organisations achieve ISO 27001 certification and conduct ISO 27001 gap analysis as part of a standalone ISO 27001 ISMS implementation or alongside other ISO and information security standards such as Cyber Essentials and PCI DSS. These organisations range from SMEs to large corporates as well as public and charitable organisations. To see some of our ISO 27001 clients, please visit our ‘Clients’ page.
