Cybersecurity Gap Assessment Services
At Procellis, we go beyond standard security assessments to build a strong foundation for systemic compliance and risk management. Our Cybersecurity Gap Assessment assists organizations in identifying, prioritizing, and addressing security gaps while aligning with industry frameworks such as CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and NIST SP 800-171.
Our Process
We thoroughly evaluate your security program by reviewing documentation, assessing technical security controls, and analyzing operational processes. As part of this assessment, we examine your cybersecurity policies, incident response plans, vendor management procedures, and employee training programs to determine if they meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices. Additionally, we evaluate your security controls and technical configurations, including access control measures, data encryption methods, and endpoint security solutions.
Document Your Environment
We'll inventory your hardware, software, storage, and data assets, ensuring that all relevant systems, applications, and endpoints are accurately documented. As part of this process, we analyze network topology by mapping out local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), and internet connections while reviewing essential network infrastructure such as routers, switches, and firewalls.
Evaluate Remote Access
We’ll evaluate remote access security by reviewing VPN configurations and secure access solutions to ensure they meet cybersecurity standards. We also assess identity and access management practices, including provisioning, de-provisioning, and role-based access controls, to verify that users have appropriate access levels.
Examine Encryption
We'll evaluate encryption mechanisms for data at rest and in transit to enhance data security. We'll also review data classification, handling, and disposal procedures to ensure they align with compliance requirements.
Assess Authentication
We will assess authentication measures, including the implementation of Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and password policies, to ensure that robust authentication mechanisms are established. We will also evaluate endpoint security by analyzing antivirus solutions, detection and response (EDR) systems, and patch management practices.
Review Detection and Response
Our assessment includes a comprehensive review of incident detection and response capabilities. We verify the availability of incident detection tools, examine current response plans, and evaluate their effectiveness in addressing cybersecurity threats.
Evaluate Strategy
During the assessment, we interview key personnel, including IT staff, security officers, compliance officers, and business unit leaders, to gain insights into their cybersecurity strategies and how these align with business operations and compliance objectives
Deliverables: A Clear Roadmap to Compliance & Security
Gap Assessment Report
After the assessment, we deliver a detailed Gap Assessment Report that outlines all identified security gaps, absent controls, and vulnerabilities. This report features a risk-based prioritization of security gaps, highlighting the potential compliance and business impacts of each issue.
Executive Summary Report
This outlines the findings of your gap assessment, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in your compliance program. Our reports are tailored for a business audience so that all stakeholders in your organization understand their compliance posture.
Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM)
Your tailored POAM provides a clear roadmap with specific recommendations for achieving compliance and strengthening security. This practical plan ensures that your organization has a robust strategy for addressing vulnerabilities and improving cybersecurity resilience.
