Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Arrange the following phases of a cybersecurity gap analysis in the correct sequential order from first to last: Assess the current security state, Define the target security state, Analyze gaps between the states, Create a remediation roadmap.
Answer
Assess the current security state, Define the target security state, Analyze gaps between the states, Create a remediation roadmap
Explanation
### The order
1. **Describe the current security state**: establish the starting point for assessment.
2. **Define the desired state**: specify the condition the organization wants to reach.
3. **Select measures of improvement**: choose evidence that can show progress toward the target.
4. **Assess progress and posture**: use the state description and measures to review performance.
### The concept
The course identifies all four activities as framework objectives. This sequence is a logical way to apply them, although the material does not prescribe a single mandatory order for every organization.
### Remember
You need a starting point and a target before progress can be meaningfully measured.
