In today’s world, private and government organizations are legally obligated to prioritize their information security. They need to provide proof that they are continually improving their cybersecurity compliance. One approach that can help organizations achieve this goal is implementing information security maturity models. These models provide a structured framework for measuring performance and implementing best practices. However, choosing a suitable model can be challenging, requiring cultural, process, and work practice changes. Implementing multiple models can be overwhelming, if possible. This article proposes a prioritization strategy for public institutions that want to improve their information security maturity. We thoroughly analyzed various sources through systematic mapping to identify critical similarities in information security maturity models. Our research led us to create the AIM (Awareness, Infrastructure, and Management) Triad. This triad is a practical guide for organizations to achieve maturity in information security practices.

“…Several methodologies have been developed to measure and assess the maturity of cybersecurity and cyber power of nation states from different perspectives. Maturity models [8] and indices [9,10] are among these methodologies, and they are also used to define the fields that need to be handled and improved. Quantifying power can be used to assess the viability and efficacy of an action, which attracts the attention of governmental decision-making [11].…”

Cybersecurity and cyber power have grown in importance as a way of mitigating risks and threats and maintaining a secure and reliable cyberspace. Several methodologies have been proposed to measure the cybersecurity and cyber power of nation states from different perspectives. In this study, the global indices and studies for assessing cybersecurity and cyber power were analyzed and compared in terms of their comprehensiveness and strength for measuring country-level capabilities. A conceptual framework covering all of the indicators of well-known indices was developed for comparison, and it can also be used as a new model to measure cyber capabilities at a national level. This study is unique in terms of the number and diversity of the indices as well as the scope and depth of the comparison since it analyzed most of the well-known country-level cybersecurity and cyber power indices as well as a maturity model at the indicator level depth. The study provides an extensive list of the categories and indicators and thereby improves comprehension of the elements of cybersecurity and cyber power with the comparison and mappings of widely used indices.

IT4SecReports 146 "Cyber Security Capabilities Maturity Model Based on a Balanced Scorecard" Measuring the maturity of cybersecurity capabilities is a key element of the overall concept of building and maintaining security in cyberspace. The report presents the results of the creation of a model for assessing the maturity of cybersecurity capabilities as a combination of the advantages of the balanced scorecard and benchmark model. The developed model has the strength of theoretical validity and practical applicability.
