Capability Maturity Model Fact Sheet

Today’s Critical Infrastructure (CI) environment includes an ever-evolving landscape where multi-Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) ecosystem attack surfaces are larger, the incorporation of PNT dependencies into future technologies are increasingly interdependent, and the scale of impacts are more widespread and longer-lasting. That is why it is critical that the U.S. government focus on improving resiliency to PNT threats which include interference to signals PNT systems rely upon, satellite constellation vulnerabilities, and cyberattacks affecting PNT communications networks, data accuracy, and integrity. 

The Capability Maturity Model (CM2) establishes a maturity framework and assessment method and tool, allowing organizations to implement recommended practices in a systematic manner, allowing organizations to assess their individual maturity, identify gaps, and develop action plans and roadmaps to improve their overall resilience.
