    Max & Raj - You both mentioned maturity models during yesterday's discussion. Here's an image of the operational security metrics maturity model from the book, How To Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk. Is this a kind of maturity model you were thinking about?


    Here's a very brief description of each maturity level.

    Sparse Data Analytics (SDA): This is the earliest metrics stage, which uses quantitative techniques to model risk based on limited data. This can specifically be used to inform new security investments.

    Functional Security Metrics: These are subject-matter-specific metrics based on early security investments. Most security metrics programs stop at this point of maturation.

    Security Data Marts: Focuses on measuring across security domains with larger data sets.

    Prescriptive Security Analytics: The amalgam of decision and data science.
