Abstract: A Maturity Model is a widely used technique that is proven to be valuable to assess business processes or certain aspects of an enterprise. The evaluation of the Enterprise practices against the model — called an ‘‘assessment’’ — determines the level at which the organization currently stands. It indicates the organization’s maturity in the area concerned, enabling stakeholders to clearly identify strengths and improvement points, and accordingly prioritize what to do to reach higher maturity levels and see the greatest improvement and the highest return on investment. To make that possible, maturity assessments must be performed. A maturity assessment activity can range from simple self-assessment questionnaires to fully- fledged assessment methods. This (white paper/case study) sheds light on the use of multi-function organizations for managing fully-fledged assessments at an enterprise level.

Keywords: Managing Cybersecurity, Maturity Model, business processes.
