SANS 2026 Security Awareness & Culture Maturity Model

Security Awareness Roadmap for Managing Human Risk

The SANS Security Awareness and Culture Maturity Model Poster gives you a clear picture of where your program stands today and a concrete path to where it needs to go. Use it to identify your current maturity stage, pinpoint the gaps holding your program back, and walk into your next leadership conversation with the language and evidence to make the case for investment. From program indicators and people metrics to time-to-achieve benchmarks and steps to the next level, everything you need to plan, communicate, and measure your program's progress in one view.
