What this solves
"Are we behind?" is the first question a board asks and the hardest one to answer honestly, because there is no public scoreboard. Without a reference, a maturity score is a number with nothing on the other side of it.
A framework helps only if it is specific enough to argue with: five levels, defined indicators, and a description of what moving up one level actually requires.
What is inside
- 5-level maturity scoring framework
- Cohort positions by sector (banking, insurance, investment, payments)
- Live KPI dashboard with 20 indicators
- 90-day move-up plan with weekly milestones
- Self-assessment scorecard (printable)
- Anonymised benchmark data points
- Action checklist by maturity level
What it covers in the regulation
- All five DORA pillars, scored
- Article 6(5) — the yearly review this supports
- Article 5 — board reporting the scorecard feeds
Who uses it, and when
Programme leads who have to justify a budget, and boards that want position rather than activity. Used at the start, and repeated to show a trajectory.
How to work through it
- Score yourself with the printable scorecard before reading the cohort positions — otherwise you will anchor.
- Compare against your own sector cohort, not the overall average.
- Pick the indicators you can actually measure monthly; twenty is a menu, not a mandate.
- Use the 90-day plan to turn the lowest score into a work item with a date.
Questions
Where does the benchmark data come from?
Anonymised benchmark data points, presented as cohort positions by sector rather than named institutions.
Is it updated?
Lifetime updates are included with the purchase.
Is it useful if we are early?
That is where a maturity model helps most: it turns "we have not started" into a level with a defined next step.
