Answer Description

Gap analysis is the process of comparing current security controls with desired standards or best practices to identify areas that need improvement. It helps organizations understand where they fall short and what measures are needed to meet security objectives.

Risk assessment identifies potential threats and vulnerabilities but does not necessarily compare current controls to standards. Compliance audit checks adherence to specific regulations but doesn't focus on identifying gaps in security controls. Vulnerability assessment scans for known weaknesses in systems but doesn't compare controls to standards.
