  • Publication number: 20230275967
    Abstract: Systems and methods directed to computing a maturity measurement for a computer system. Examples can include generating and outputting to an I/O device, a user interface including a plurality of user input fields for receiving the likelihood and/or impact of a plurality of pre-defined potential events related to a plurality of pre-defined potential vulnerabilities related to a computer system. Examples can also include receiving, via the user interface, a risk profile including the likelihood and/or impact for each event of a selected group of events of the plurality of pre-defined potential events. Examples can also include computing a maturity measurement for the computer system using the risk profile and a database. The database can include information for a set of practices and relationships between practices the set of practices and events of the plurality of pre-defined potential events.
