Starting a Compliance Program: From Classification to Gap Analysis

Many teams conflate formal assessment with consulting-led remediation. This article outlines a pragmatic starting path.

1. Classify before buying tools

Classification is a business and asset-boundary decision. We typically work through:

• System inventory and scope boundaries
• Data impact analysis
• Filing materials and authority workflow

2. Make gap analysis actionable

Gap analysis should produce schedulable work items, not generic slide decks. Map controls to:

1. Policy and governance
2. Technical safeguards
3. Operating procedures

3. Split consulting from formal testing

EnsynTech delivers consulting and remediation tracking; certified third parties perform formal testing. Clarify roles early to avoid duplicated spend.
