Cybersecurity Governance Assessment
Is the governance of information security clear and verifiable?
A Cybersecurity Governance Assessment assesses how governance principles and internal requirements have been translated into ownership, information security, digital strategy, risk management, reporting and demonstrable assurance. You will get a governance image that is administratively useful, clear priorities for improvement and an executable roadmap.
Do you recognize this?
- Governance, oversight and implementation have different images of responsibility for digital risks.
- Governance codes and internal agreements point to the situation, but the translation into ownership and evidence is unclear.
- Reporting includes activities and incidents, but does not provide sufficient insight into residual risk and decision-making.
- Digital strategy, information security, data, AI and suppliers are still too much governed as separate topics.
What are the risks? Without coherent governance decisions, responsibilities and reporting remain personal. It is difficult to identify the risks that have been consciously accepted and whether improvements are actually being followed up.
Our promise of service
An independent governance picture for governance and oversight
The governance GAP analysis connects relevant governance principles with information security, data, AI, digital strategy, suppliers and internal control.
- Governance GAP matrix with findings and evidence
- Priorities for ownership and decision-making

Cybersecurity Governance Assessment
What is Cybersecurity Governance Assessment?
A Cybersecurity Governance Assessment assesses how governance principles and internal requirements have been translated into ownership, information security, digital strategy, risk management, reporting and demonstrable assurance. You will get a governance image that is administratively useful, clear priorities for improvement and an executable roadmap.
When does this service fit?
When governance and oversight need more certainty about digital governance
Choose this service when responsibilities, risk appetite, digital strategy, supplier management and board-level reporting are still not sufficiently linked. The assessment is suitable for boards and executive management, supervisory board or supervisory board and board-level secretaries. The key can explicitly connect to the Governance Code Social Work 2025, the Governance Code Healthcare 2022 or any other relevant framework.
Research areas
Six perspectives on cybersecurity governance
The exact scope follows from relevant governance principles, internal principles, legal requirements, stakeholders and the digital dependencies of your organisation.
Governance, oversight and ownership
Roles, mandates, decision-making, expertise and escalation in digital risks.
Risk and digital continuity
risk appetite, critical processes, scenarios, crisis management and recovery capabilities.
Information security
Policies, measures, monitoring and the link between board-level management and implementation.
Data, privacy and AI
Responsible use, quality, transparency and grip on new digital applications.
Suppliers and Chain
Dependencies, agreements, assurance, performance, incidents and a controlled exit.
Reporting and assurance
Evidence, improvement actions, management information and a fixed cycle of re-examination.
Relevant governance frameworks
Only the principles that affect digital governance and control
We select the governance principles relevant to information security, data, digital strategy, continuity, risk management and internal accountability.
Governance code Care 2022
Board-level responsibility, good care, risk management, information and oversight.
Governance code Social Work 2025
Social assignment, professional space, interplay and forward-looking control.
Governance code Childcare 2019
Responsible governance and oversight in connection with quality, continuity and digital dependencies.
CBF and FIN
Standards for good governance, accountability, risk management and careful use.
Governance code Housing associations 2025
Values, accountability, risk management, cooperation and reliable information.
Governance Code Culture 2027
Good governance, oversight, digital continuity and careful handling of public data and suppliers.
Your result
Decide information and an executable governance roadmap
You will not receive a generic compliance checklist, but an independent board-level test. The report makes clear with finding, evidence, risk and recommendation what is demonstrably regulated, where gaps are and which improvements deserve priority.
- Board-level summary of core risks and decision points
- Governance GAP matrix with finding, evidence and explanation
- Priorities based on impact, urgency and feasibility
- Roadmap with ownership, planning and reporting moments
- Proposal for implementation, review and sustainable assurance

Practical answers on Cybersecurity Governance Assessment
What is a Cybersecurity Governance Assessment investigating?
The assessment examines how governance principles have been translated into ownership, risk management, digital continuity, supplier control, data and AI, reporting and structural follow-up.
Which governance codes is the GAP analysis suitable for?
The analysis can be linked to governance codes for, among others, care, social work and well-being, childcare, charities, funds, housing associations and culture. We select only the principles that affect digital governance and control.
What does the organisation receive after the governance GAP analysis?
You will receive an board-level summary, a substantiated GAP matrix, enhancement points in logical order, a feasible roadmap and a proposal for ownership, reporting and assurance.
Is this GAP analysis the same as a Cyber Security Audit?
The governance GAP focuses primarily on governance, oversight, internal control and translation into digital risks. A Cyber Security Audit will test the technical and operational operation more extensively. Both studies can be complementary.
A governance code will only be given practical value when responsibility becomes visible in decisions, ownership, evidence and periodic reporting to governance and oversight.
