None – control does not exist |
| 1 |
Initial / Ad-hoc |

| Overall Score |
Maturity Level |
Interpretation |
Recommended Actions |
| 0 – 20 |
🔴 Beginner |
Critical gaps exist. DevOps practices are largely absent or ad-hoc. |
Immediate remediation required. Prioritize foundational controls. |
| 20 – 45 |
🟠 Developing |
