CISO Tools

Security Policy and Standards Gap Assessment

Evaluate whether your organization has the right cybersecurity policies, standards, and procedural guidance to support real control maturity and compliance expectations.

Created by OC Security Audit under the guidance of Ali Hassani, CISO, with 25+ years of cybersecurity, compliance, Microsoft 365 security, network security, firewall, backup, and risk assessment experience.

Why This Matters

Security Policy and Standards Gap Assessment

Security policies and standards turn leadership intent into practical expectations for users, administrators, vendors, and auditors. This tool helps identify where policy coverage, ownership, review discipline, or technical alignment may be missing.

You will see whether core policies such as MFA, password, backup, incident response, remote work, vendor access, and data protection are defined, maintained, and connected to actual operations.

What the result helps you see: overall readiness score, maturity level, key gaps, risk areas, missing documentation or controls, practical recommendations, and suggested next consulting steps.

OC Security Audit designed this tool to help leadership teams find important cybersecurity gaps without collecting personal information or sending data anywhere.

The assessment runs entirely in the browser and produces an immediate visual score, category breakdown, and recommendation summary that can support planning discussions before a deeper review.
