Risk Assessment & Business Continuity Plan for a Statewide Healthcare Organization Gap Analysis Your Gap Analysis should be a comparison of the actual performance of your risk assessment plan to the desired performance of your plan. Your analysis will determine what issues prevent you from completing a risk assessment in a particular area and help you to plan and address these concerns in the future. Within the Gap Analysis phase, analyze and report on areas where current risk assessment cannot be completed. This analysis will be applied to the plan in a future assessment. Make sure you address any gaps in technical resources that your organization needs to consider. Lastly, examine the laws and standards to determine where gaps in policy, processes, and procedures exist.
