An assessment checks, strategy by strategy, whether the evidence supports the maturity level being claimed. It is about what you can show, not what you intend.
Why it matters
Self-ratings tend to be optimistic and fall apart under questioning. An evidence-based position is faster to assess and holds up with auditors, insurers and regulators.
How Conformance helps
- Assess each strategy separately
- Rate against Maturity Levels 0 to 3 using evidence
- Take your overall level from the weakest strategy
- Record the artefact behind every rating
- Re-assess as systems and the framework change
How Conformance helps
Conformance validates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already produces, shows your maturity level, and tells you the next step to raise it.
