Hi guys,
Do any of you have a methodology for security gap assessement that base on 27001 or COBIT ? I have the template for gap analaysis but not on the methodology portion.
Thanks,
Hi starlety. When I perform gap analysis I used a template based on ISO 27001 and ISO 27002. Basically, I want to know the "gaps", what is in place, what needs to be done. There are organizations who wants to know how they measure up in relation to the requirements of ISO 27001. Still some wants to know how they measure up in relation to the 133 controls.
The methodology I use is based on ISO 19011. Plan for the gap assessment, identify the scope, determine the number of man-days and resources needed, conduct interviews, observe how they do things, verify documentation and records, conduct a closing meeting and submit a report.
Some organizations wants a more technical approach in the gap analysis. For these clients, I have to include either a vulnerability assessment or penetration testing or both.
Cheers!
