Cyber Maturity Index (CMI)

One number that proves your cybersecurity maturity is growing.

The Cyber Maturity Index (CMI) is an advanced approach to measuring cybersecurity maturity. Unlike traditional risk assessments that give a static, point-in-time evaluation, the CMI lets you track and improve your posture continuously - a quantifiable score, built on the Living Control Set.

What is the Cyber Maturity Index?

The CMI measures the capacity (what) and effectiveness (how well) of your cybersecurity processes, systems, and controls. It evaluates how well security practices are implemented and monitors improvements over time - ideal for strategic planning and long-term maturity tracking.

The CMI focuses on root causes and trends, tracking the evolution of cybersecurity risk over time and powering your transition to continuous compliance. It is structured into Maturity Indicator Levels (MILs):

The Other Half of the Picture

What is a risk assessment?

Qualitative scoring

Uses an industry-standard 5×5 matrix for Likelihood × Impact.

Quantitative scoring

Calculates potential business impact using Likelihood × Frequency combined with the financial component.

Point-in-time

A traditional assessment captures risk at a single moment - useful, but not continuous.

How CMI and risk assessments work together.

Rather than replacing risk assessments, the CMI extends their value with a dynamic, continuous compliance model.

CMI scores the capability, effectiveness, and consistency of controls over time

Risk assessments identify and prioritize remediation for immediate threats

Together they give a holistic view of your cybersecurity resilience

Why CMI?

Why choose CMI for continuous compliance?

Continuous compliance model

Provides an ongoing assessment rather than a one-time snapshot, so your posture is always current.

Data-driven decisions

Make informed, strategic security decisions based on real-time insights instead of guesswork.

Clear executive reporting

CMI scores help security teams communicate progress effectively to leadership and the board.

One control architecture. Maturity scoring connected to everything else.

At Cyturus, compliance and risk are not two separate programs. Maturity scoring reads from the same Living Control Set as every other module, so you answer once and it satisfies CMMC, NIST, ISO, SCF and 250+ more, with evidence you reuse everywhere.

"Cross-control risk visibility is what most other tools don't allow you to do. Instead of doing 100% of the work again for a new framework, you're doing 20%. The risk piece is what separates this."
