A Gap Analysis is a comprehensive review that is conducted to identify the discrepancies between the current security measures (baseline) and where the organization aims to be with respect to its security posture (target state). Understanding this difference helps organizations prioritize their security initiatives and improve their overall security. A risk assessment identifies and prioritizes risk, a business impact analysis determines the effects of service disruption, and threat modeling identifies security weaknesses from an attacker's perspective.
