Conducting a gap analysis
Road to audit-readiness
A gap analysis compares what you currently do against what SOC 2 expects you to do. You map your existing policies, tools, and processes to the Trust Services Criteria chosen and document what is missing.
A gap analysis provides you with visibility into the next steps forward. Once you see the gaps, you can make a plan to close them.
The output of a gap analysis is typically a detailed report highlighting:
1. Controls that are already in place and operating effectively
2. Controls that exist but need enhancement or better documentation
3. Controls that are missing entirely and need to be implemented
4. Areas where evidence collection needs improvement
