Gap Analysis IT - Comparing the Current State with the Desired State
What is meant by IT Gap Analysis?
The IT Gap Analysis is a structured method to identify the differences between the current IT state and the desired goals. The aim is to uncover weaknesses, missing skills, or resources and derive clear areas for action. This way, the IT strategy is optimized and aligned with corporate objectives.
Typical Areas of Application:
- Identifying IT security gaps
- Uncover Compliance Deficits
- Identify process inefficiencies
- Analyze technological deficits
Consequences of Missing IT Gap Analysis
Without gap analysis in IT, important vulnerabilities often go undetected, leading to various issues:
Security risks increase
Undiscovered gaps in IT security increase the risk of cyberattacks and data loss.
Missing Compliance
Regulatory requirements may not be met, leading to fines and reputational damage.
Inefficient processes and resources
Outdated technologies and unclear responsibilities cause unnecessary costs and delays.
