Risk Assessment and
Gap Analysis
Our Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis service helps organizations identify and manage critical risks to cybersecurity and NIS2 compliance. The NIS2 directive requires essential and important entities to conduct regular risk assessments to ensure the protection of critical infrastructures, data integrity, and operational continuity.
Through this service, organizations gain a clear and objective view of their security posture, identifying vulnerabilities, control gaps, and non-compliances, enabling them to implement effective corrective measures and reduce the risk of incidents.
What This Service Covers
IT and Infrastructure Risk Assessment
We analyze all components of the IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, endpoints, and critical applications, to identify vulnerabilities, weak points, and potential threats. The assessment includes financial, operational, and reputational impact of each risk.
Industrial and OT/ICS Risk Assessment
For organizations with industrial infrastructure, we assess ICS/SCADA networks, PLCs, and HMIs, analyzing vulnerabilities in access control, network segmentation, and protection against cyber and physical attacks.
Gap Analysis According to NIS2
We compare existing controls with NIS2 requirements, identifying gaps in policies, procedures, monitoring, reporting, and incident response. This analysis helps the organization prioritize corrective actions and fully align internal controls with legal requirements.
Detailed Reporting and Recommendations
We provide comprehensive reports identifying risks, their assessment, discovered gaps, and practical remediation recommendations. The report serves as a basis for management decisions and NIS2 audits.
Remediation Action Plan
We propose priority corrective measures, a roadmap for implementing controls, and recommendations for continuous monitoring so the organization achieves compliance and reduces critical risks.
Why It Matters
Risk assessment and gap analysis are critical pillars for any organization required to comply with NIS2, as they provide an objective and comprehensive view of the security posture and compliance level.
By identifying and evaluating risks, the organization can anticipate vulnerabilities before they are exploited by attackers or cause operational errors. This enables risk-based strategic decision-making, efficient resource allocation, and prioritization of security investments, ensuring the protection of critical infrastructures and sensitive data.
Gap analysis provides a clear perspective on gaps between existing controls and NIS2 requirements or international best practice standards. The organization can:
- Fully align policies, procedures, and technical controls with regulations
- Reduce the risk of non-compliance and penalties
- Prepare management and internal/external audits with clear documentation and concrete remediation plans
Furthermore, combining risk assessment with gap analysis supports organizational resilience, allowing preparation for attack scenarios, operational incidents, and infrastructure disruptions. Our service transforms uncertainty into concrete and measurable actions, providing management with full visibility, control, and the ability to proactively respond to threats.
Without this detailed assessment, organizations risk remaining vulnerable, being unable to demonstrate to authorities effective risk management, and having to reactively respond to incidents, with potentially major losses.

FAQ
What differentiates Risk Assessment from Gap Analysis?
Risk Assessment: identifies and evaluates all technical, organizational, and operational threats and vulnerabilities, estimating their likelihood and impact on the business. This includes assessment of financial, operational, reputational, and compliance risks.
Gap Analysis: compares existing procedures with NIS2 requirements and recommended standards, identifying gaps in processes, policies, infrastructure, monitoring, and incident response. Gap Analysis prioritizes corrective measures to achieve compliance and reduce risks.
