Gap analysis is everywhere… so why does it feel stuck in 1998?
Hey everyone 👋! Over the past few months, I’ve been digging deep into how organizations across all kinds of industries handle compliance and operational readiness, everything from regulatory frameworks to internal audits, quality programs, policy requirements, certifications, and vendor assessments.
The more teams we talked to, the more obvious it became that gap analysis is still painfully manual. Everyone seems to have their own improvised system: huge spreadsheets, scattered docs, outdated trackers, and hours spent re-reading the same policies just to figure out what’s missing.
We started researching whether there was a better way to:
interpret the controls
map requirements across frameworks
track evidence
and identify missing components automatically
We’ve been quietly working on something that tackles this problem head-on (product launch soon 👀), but before we drop anything, I wanted to share a deeper dive into why this space is so messy and how much time teams waste dealing with it.
If you’re curious about how manual compliance mapping actually works today, why most tools fall short, or where automation can step in, here’s the breakdown: Mind the Gap Blog Post
Would love your hear thoughts on the problem space, especially if you’ve ever dealt with audits, gap assessments, or any form of compliance documentation chaos! Have any of you had frustrations within this space?
Thanks for reading!
