In light of current and upcoming mandatory IT security standards (e.g., NIS, NIS2, NIST), organizations are increasingly motivated to conduct Cybersecurity Gap Analyses of their existing IT operations. These analyses aim to identify security gaps and implement corrective measures to close them effectively.

Adopting a structured PMI based approach offers a robust framework for managing such initiatives successfully. This speech will draw on real-life experiences to demonstrate how to execute these projects efficiently and deliver tangible results.
