Program Maturity Assessment (PMA)
Discover exactly where your security culture stands against the evolving threat landscape and how to strengthen it.
The KnowBe4 Program Maturity Assessment (PMA) is a free strategic tool that transforms how you measure and improve your security culture. Created by security culture expert Perry Carpenter, the PMA provides actionable insights across ten critical dimensions with a clear maturity roadmap.
This straightforward assessment evaluates your organization across 40 Maturity Indicators in ten critical dimensions of human risk management:
- Leadership & Strategy: Is cybersecurity a priority to leadership?
- Awareness & Behaviors: Is your training inclusive and relevant?
- Employee-focused Security Tools: Have you implemented MFA, password managers, and phishing reporting tools?
- Policies & Procedures: Are your security policies clear and accessible?
- Employee Mindset: Do your people take personal responsibility for security?
- Measurement & Metrics: How do you track program effectiveness?
- Continuous Improvement: Does your program evolve based on new threats?
- Employee Engagement: Do people actively participate in security initiatives?
- Risk Awareness: Do employees understand your organization's specific risks and the security impact of their actions?
- Integration with Business: Is security incorporated into everyday processes?
