Meaning ● A Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMM) is a framework designed to help Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) assess and improve their cybersecurity posture in alignment with business growth objectives. It provides a structured approach to evaluating current security practices against industry best practices.
Scope ● Within the context of SMB automation, the CMM aids in identifying security gaps introduced by new technologies and streamlining cybersecurity implementation efforts. As SMBs scale, a CMM facilitates standardized security protocols across expanded operations, ensuring consistent protection of business assets. Critically, its purpose is to support the scaling of businesses with the implementation and integrations needed for growth. Effectively utilized, a CMM contributes to a secure infrastructure, fostering customer trust and regulatory compliance which are critical components of business development.
