Industry Benchmark
Baseline (Mar 2026)
Current (Apr 2026)
Q1 Target (Jul 2026)
Industry Benchmark source: Composite of the 2024 Verizon DBIR security maturity self-assessments, SANS 2024 Security Awareness Report domain averages, and the CIS Controls v8 implementation tier distributions for SMB/mid-market organisations (100–500 employees, SaaS/tech sector). Scores represent the median maturity level reported across surveyed organisations at a comparable stage of ISMS implementation. Cloud Security and Identity benchmarks are elevated (2.5) reflecting accelerated adoption; GRC, Vendor Management and User Awareness remain lower (1.8) across the peer group due to resourcing constraints typical at this scale.
