First is important to note that ISO 27001 does not require a gap analysis to be performed.

Considering that, you should define a scope for your gap analysis so you can understand which kind of questions you need to consider.

For example, if your gap analysis scope is Research and Development, it does not make sense to include questions related to HR or sales processes.

Additionally, we do not recommend using it for companies smaller than 500 employees because it would make your implementation unnecessarily complex.
