Abstract

Process maturity represents an organization’s ability to institutionalize, or embed, its processes. Measuring cybersecurity process maturity indicates how well a company has ingrained practices and processes in the way it defines, executes, and manages work. This improves an organization's ability to both prevent and respond to a cyberattack.
