Executive Summary
Security and risk professionals continue working their way into positions of greater authority and influence in their organizations. However, they still struggle at times to understand the full scope of their responsibilities, prioritize their initiatives, develop a coherent strategy, and articulate their value to the business. In response to these challenges, we have developed the Forrester Information Security Maturity Model. This comprehensive framework will allow you to identify the gaps in your security program and portfolio, evaluate its maturity, and better manage your security strategy. The model consists of four top-level domains, 25 functions, and 123 components, each with detailed assessment criteria; it provides a consistent and objective method to evaluate security programs and articulate their value.
