Security Management ISO17799 Gap Analysis

ISO 177991:2005 is the international standard code of practice for information security. All companies should at the very least consider adopting the code of practice specified in the standard as this provides a good comprehensive framework of the security controls that are required in today's environment.

Of course, not all the measures specified in the code of practice will be relevant to every business and that's where NetCat's consultancy services can help. It is critical to have the correct level and type of security that is relevant for your business and the risks it faces. However, having too little or the wrong type of security may well prove to be extremely expensive.

The ISO 17799:2005 Gap Analyses service provides a snapshot of how the organisation is aligned to the requirements of the international standard on security. By assessing where organisations are when compared against the framework, it is possible to identify areas of weakness. The Gap Analysis service can be adapted to review only portions or sub-sets of a customer's organisation.
