A limited set of industries is the subject of most discussions about governance: public, retail, information, and financial services. However, a broad variety of industries exist—each with their own concerns and industry-specific requirements that drive their governance decisions. The drivers applied in a particular industry rarely affect other industries in the same way. In fact, unique business drivers affecting each industry require tailored approaches to address industry-specific concerns. For example, the concerns like protected health information (PHI), contracted providers, and For example, data sharing in healthcare organizations are completely different from the concerns faced by organizations organizations in retail, agriculture, manufacturing, or financial services, which all have different operational models and business drivers.

Maturity varies irrespective of the size of an organization or the structure established to manage its activities. The concept of maturity maps to capability maturity model integration (CMMI), which is a process model that defines what an organization should do to promote behaviors that facilitate improved performance.

Here, processes are unpredictable, poorly controlled, and oversensitive. As they mature, organizations begin to define processes and move toward increasingly proactive and formalized policies, procedures, and processes that improve performance across individual business practices or for the entire enterprise. The effectiveness of governance varies as organizations move from immaturity to maturity along the CMMI model. Definition of formal processes is difficult at Level 1 and Level 2, where methods are unpredictable or reactive. Organizations cannot begin to realize the benefits of mapping processes to organizational standards and achieving consistency across the enterprise until CMMI Level 3. Achieving this level of maturity is important for information security leadership because the security professional cannot begin to establish formal standards for information security governance until the classification of processes exists throughout the organization.

Most organizations are satisfied with maturity Level 3 or Level 4 and focus on maintaining operations at this level because the cost and effort required to maintain CMMI Level 5 may not be worth the benefit.

Certified Cybersecurity Technician Network Security Controls — Administrative Controls Exam 212-82 Maturity affects an organization at the macro level; it also influences the micro level, where a mix of maturity exists in different departments and business units across the organization. For example, HR and accounting have higher levels of maturity because of the established processes and procedures inherent in these professions. Similarly, IT programs that follow the IT governance and service delivery models offered by Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT) and Infrastructure Technology Information Library (ITIL), respectively, are more likely to operate with higher maturity than organizations that do not use formal standards to manage IT governance and IT service delivery.
