IT security service providers today are challenged with managing increasingly complex security and compliance programs for their clients at scale. To overcome issues with efficiency and scalability, these providers must quickly uncover areas of non-compliance and potential risk while demonstrating value to clients.

We are excited to announce Secureframe Gap Assessment, a free tool designed to empower MSPs, MSSPs, vCISOs, IT Security Consultants, and other Service Partners to address these challenges head on. This powerful tool enables Secureframe Service Partners to quickly and easily identify security and compliance gaps for clients, increasing their efficiency and providing a competitive edge over providers that rely on manual gap assessments.  

What is the Secureframe Gap Assessment? 

The Secureframe Gap Assessment is a complementary tool provided by Secureframe, designed for their partners to facilitate swift and straightforward gap assessments for clients and prospects across any available framework that Secureframe supports. 

This free tool represents a pared-down version of Secureframe's technology, tailored to enable partners to install essential integrations and complete a questionnaire directly within the product. 

The primary objective of this tool is to make the gap assessment process easy and effective for our Service Partners. The tool automatically generates a report that showcases the outcomes of the gap analysis, both at a high-level summary and in detailed form. This report highlights the discrepancies or “gaps” in the client's security posture or compliance status, providing clear insights into areas needing improvement.

How does the Secureframe Gap Assessment work?

The Secureframe Gap Assessment input includes three main components: 

• the ability to connect key integrations, 
• the functionality to complete a comprehensive questionnaire, 
• the ability to produce and export the Gap Assessment Report within the Secureframe platform.

The integrations are crucial for gathering relevant data and insights from the client's systems, which are then analyzed in conjunction with the responses provided in the questionnaire.

The culmination of this process is a detailed report that outlines the findings of the gap assessment. This report is presented in two layers: a summary level that gives a quick overview of the key areas of concern and a detailed level that dives deeper into specific issues identified during the assessment. This dual-layered approach ensures that IT Service Providers can clearly demonstrate the client's requirements and areas of non-compliance, making it an invaluable tool for identifying and addressing gaps efficiently.
