Helvetic Cybersecurity Maturity Model

Method / 01

Measure what makes resilience real.

HCMM is SwissShore’s structured approach to understanding cybersecurity maturity, exposing practical gaps and directing improvement where it matters.

The distinction

Compliance, security and resilience are not the same measure.

HCMM provides leaders with a common language for the questions that determine confidence: whether obligations are met, controls are effective, and the organization can continue through disruption.

01

Compliance

Do we meet the requirements and evidence the controls?

02

Security

Are the assets, information and operations meaningfully protected?

03

Resilience

Can the organization respond, recover and keep operating?

The model

A maturity lens built for operating reality.

The model connects governance, technology, risk and operational readiness. It is not a score for its own sake; it is a disciplined view of where to focus leadership attention and investment.

01

Governance & accountability

Decision rights, ownership, policies and oversight that create clear direction.

02

Risk & control effectiveness

The ability to identify material exposure and demonstrate that controls work as intended.

03

Architecture & protection

Security patterns across platforms, data, identity, integration and operational environments.

04

Response & recovery

The practical capacity to manage incidents, restore services and sustain confidence under pressure.

The outcome

A clear route from assessment to improvement.

01

A shared executive baseline

An intelligible view of current maturity, material gaps and their impact on the enterprise.

02

Priorities that hold up

Improvement actions connected to business criticality, sequencing and responsible ownership.

03

A practical resilience agenda

A delivery path that makes controls, readiness and governance stronger over time.

See the gaps. Set the priorities. Build confidence.
