0Ujamaa wants to conduct a gap analysis as part of his security efforts. Which of the following best describes what he will analyze?
Answer Options
A
Which services are not configured properly
B
Whether current patches are installed on all systems
C
The security program as implemented versus best practices
D
Legal requirements versus the security program
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Gap analysis focuses on reviewing a security program against common best practices to identify where gaps between practices exist. Ujamaa will select an information security standard like NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, or another relevant standard and will validate his organization's controls implementation against it. This may include things like which services are not configured properly, whether patches are installed, and if legal requirements are being met, but any of those answers is not a complete answer in this context.
