1. I have a question to ask. Do we do the gap analysis first or IT risk framework?
I'm assuming your questions are about ISO 22301 implementation and the management of IT-related risks.
Considering that, first is important to note that ISO 22031 does not require a gap analysis to be performed, while the risk assessment is mandatory. Second, gap analysis is not recommended for smaller companies, because in general, it is not worth the effort due to their size and complexity. So, for smaller companies, it is better to perform only the IT risk framework, because will give you more specifics about handling risks in your IT environment.
For bigger companies, the gap analysis will provide you a quick and comprehensive view of how much of the standard you already have implemented, and the results of gap analysis can be used as input for the IT risk framework.
2. Which is easier to do? Looking forward to your feedback.
Because gap analysis requires an overview of the situation, and the IT Risk Framework involves a deeper knowledge of risk management steps, the gap analysis would be easier to perform for a beginner.
This article will provide you a further explanation about the gap analysis and risk assessment (although the article is about ISO 27001 the concepts also apply to ISO 22301):
The approach for the surveillance audit is basically the same for a certification audit, the difference being in the fact that in the surveillance not all ISMS scope is audited. Considering that, for the surveillance audit you should check:

As far as I understand your situation and questions:
Your company can calibrate monitoring resources internally and use those monitoring resources to make measurements and issue reports for customers. However, to perform that calibration your company must use measurement standards. Those measurement standards must be calibrated against measurement standards traceable to international or national measurement standards. Normally, that traceability requirement makes mandatory to calibrate measurements standards at a calibration lab.
You can find more information about calibration below:
I'd suggest you t take a look at ISO 27004 (https://www.iso.org/standard/64120.html), a supporting standard that provides guidelines to help organizations in evaluating the performance and the effectiveness of an ISMS.

Yes, the procedure for determining the context of the organization is not mandatory. Please, check this article - List of mandatory documents required by ISO 9001:2015 - https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/

We do not know your local regulations, but for example, as a customer, it would be unacceptable not being able to perform payments for more than 12 hours (and most probably there may be some sort of law or regulation for the banking industry defining fines for such a failure).
Previously, with ISO 27001: 2005, I used the general information security policy and right there I defined the scope and assembled it in a policy manual, separating the security policy, today I see that it is necessary to do an ISMS scope, which I have no doubt if it should be three documents, General Information Security Policy, Policy Manual (A whole set) and the scope of the ISMS separately.
ISO 27001 (even the previous 2005 version) does not prescribe how to document the Information Security Policy, the ISMS scope, and other developed policies, so organizations are free to document them in a single or separate document as best fit their needs.
Regarding policies, our recommendation is that these are documented as separate documents, because the information security policy is a high-level policy, while other policies are more specific, and developing them as a single document would only create a document too big and too complex to read and manage.

First of all, thanks for the compliment to our material.
With regards to the material on LGPD and ISO 27001, I suggest that you seek the Brazilian version of the ISO 27701 standard, because the last annex of this standard makes a correlation between LGPD clauses and controls in Annex A of ISO 27001.
This article will provide you a further explanation about ISO 27701:
Primeramente, obrigado pelo elogio ao nosso material.
Com relação a material sobre LGPD e ISO 27001, eu sugiro que você busque a versão brasileira da norma ISO 27701, porque o último anexo desta norma faz uma correlação entre cláusulas da LGPD e controles do Anexo A da ISO 27001.
Este artigo fornecerá mais explicações sobre a ISO 27701:
As you know, PSCR means is Product Safety & Conformity Representative.
Every organization within the automotive supply chain is obliged to ensure the safety and conformity of its products. To this end, in the respective countries and regions, current legal statutes on product integrity must be observed, also the justifiable safety expectations of the public must be fulfilled. With products conspicuously “ unsafe “ in the market, or whose conformity to legal requirements is questionable, those responsible are obliged to initiate the necessary actions. In order to be aware of and to understand the many demands addressed to a product safety representative, comprehensive information and qualification are necessary.
The central topics of product integrity are explored, and competence as product safety representative is developed in the scope of these five modules including integrity tasks in the product life cycle, delegation guidelines, and non-conformity management. Therefore, the following topics are important issues for PSCR audit.
