In my previous column, I discussed using gap analysis to assess an organization's information security program and build a work program to improve it.
In this regard, gap analysis provides the security organization with another good driver for its metrics.
Any gap in an organization's security posture has the potential to introduce risk into the organization.
Like progress and performance metrics, risk metrics also serve the dual purpose of driving security metrics.
Gap analysis can serve as a wonderful driver for improving security metrics if the security team understands how to seize the opportunity it presents.
