The Gap Assessment evaluates your organisation's current ECC implementation against the full set of 114 controls. It produces a domain-by-domain compliance breakdown and prioritised remediation recommendations.

Running a Gap Assessment

Navigate to Gap Assessment

From the ECC sidebar, click Gap Assessment. If you have run previous assessments, the most recent results are displayed by default.

Start a new assessment

Click "New Assessment". Enter a title (e.g. "Q1 2026 ECC Gap Assessment") and optional notes describing the assessment scope or context.

Review each domain

The assessment wizard walks you through each of the 5 ECC domains. For every control, confirm the implementation status and provide evidence references. Controls already marked as Implemented are pre-filled.

Review results

After completing all domains, Venvera calculates your overall compliance score and generates a domain breakdown chart.
