Selected Answer: D
Gap analysis is a process used to identify differences between existing security controls and desired security standards or compliance requirements. It helps organizations evaluate their current posture, identify missing controls, and determine what actions are needed to close security gaps. 🔹 Why Perform a Gap Analysis? Ensures all security and compliance controls are in place and functioning correctly. Identifies areas where security policies, configurations, or technologies are lacking. Helps organizations align with regulatory requirements and industry best practices (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS).

its A because Gap analysis is finding the the gaps and holes in your solutions. You have a better understanding once you do this. So you would begin a benchmark/baseline with this first.
