Explanation

Gap analysis is a tool that helps a company to compare its actual performance with its potential performance. It is a formal study of what a business is doing currently and where it wants to go in the future. Gap analysis provides a foundation for measuring investment of time, money and human resources required to achieve a particular outcome. The goal of gap analysis is to identify the gap between the optimized allocation and integration of the inputs, and the current level of allocation. This helps provide the company with insight into areas, which could be improved. The gap analysis process involves determining, documenting and approving the variance between business requirements and current capabilities. Answer option A is incorrect. Vulnerability analysis is also known as vulnerability assessment. It is a process that defines systematic examination of a critical infrastructure, identifies and classifies the security vulnerabilities in a computer, network, or communications infrastructure. In addition, vulnerability analysis forecasts the effectiveness of proposed countermeasures, identifies the security deficiencies, evaluates the security alternatives, and verifies the adequacy of such measures after implementation. Answer option B is incorrect. A cost benefit analysis is a technique related to the cost effectiveness of different alternatives in order to see whether the benefits outweigh the costs. Its aim is to gauge the efficiency of the intervention relative to the status quo.
