Linkage with ISMS Acceptable Use of Information (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 A.5.10)
Personnel scope explicitly covers employees, contractors, and third-party workers with access to company systems, data, or AI tools
Sanctioned AI tools are listed by reference to the AI inventory per CON.IN-01 and approved-vendor allow-list per TPA.AT-02; the canonical list is published and kept current
Prohibited tools and use cases are explicitly stated — including: use of unsanctioned consumer AI services (consumer ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Copilot personal, Gemini personal, image generators, etc.); input of Controlled or Restricted data into any non-sanctioned AI; use of AI for Art. 5 EU AI Act prohibited practices per CON.JU-06; use of AI in employment, performance, or grading decisions without sanctioned-AI path and human oversight
Data-handling boundaries are stated per data class per DAT.IN-02 — Public data may be used in sanctioned AI; Controlled requires risk acceptance; Restricted is prohibited outside specifically-approved enclaved environments
Consequences for non-compliance follow the disciplinary pathway in the ISMS / HR framework — graduated response from coaching to formal action; serious or repeated breaches escalate to HR
Acknowledgement is captured at onboarding and on material policy update per GOV.PO-03 communication discipline; tracking via GOV.CO-04 competence records

Sanctioned-alternative provision (enterprise-licensed AI made available to personnel)
Linkage with ISMS DLP per ISO/IEC 27001:2022 A.8.12 and Access Control per A.5.15
Browser-level controls (managed browser policy, approved extensions only) prevent installation of unsanctioned AI plugins, copilots, and browser-injection AI tools
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) inspects outbound traffic to AI services (sanctioned and unsanctioned) and blocks transmission of Controlled or Restricted data per DAT.IN-02 classification; DLP rules are tuned to detect AI-bound traffic patterns (large prompts, structured-data payloads, file uploads)
SaaS access controls via identity provider (SSO / SCIM) ensure sanctioned AI services are accessible only through company identity; non-SSO use of sanctioned services is blocked at network layer
API key and credential controls require AI API keys to be provisioned through the company's secrets-management system; personal API keys for company work are prohibited
Sanctioned-alternative provision ensures personnel have a clear compliant path — enterprise-licensed AI tools per CON.IN-01 are made available, discoverable, and supported so the path of least resistance is the sanctioned path
Controls are tested at defined cadence (annual minimum) and on material change to AI service landscape
Linkage with ISMS DLP per ISO/IEC 27001:2022 A.8.12, Access Control per A.5.15, and Network Security per A.8.20 leverages existing infrastructure rather than duplicating it

Incident escalation per LIF.IR where shadow AI use caused or risks causing AI incident or data breach
Linkage with HR per disciplinary pathway and with GOV.RR-05 reporting of AI concerns
Adjudication process triages each detection — severity classification considers data sensitivity exposed per DAT.IN-02, duration and frequency of use, intent (curiosity vs. policy circumvention), and whether sanctioned alternative was available
Response actions are graduated — first-time low-severity: education and sanctioned-alternative onboarding; repeat or higher-severity: formal warning, sanctioned-alternative requirement, HR involvement; serious cases (Restricted data exposure, ongoing policy violation): incident response per LIF.IR-02 and disciplinary escalation
Trend reporting captures aggregated detection volume, top services detected, top data classes exposed, and remediation outcomes; feeds AI governance forums per GOV.GF and AIMS KPI / KRI per GOV.OV-01
Incident escalation per LIF.IR is triggered when shadow AI use caused or risks causing AI incident, data breach (GDPR Art. 33 trigger), or material AI risk; coordinates with LIF.IR-05 corrective actions where applicable
Linkage with GOV.RR-05 reporting of AI concerns ensures self-reporting is treated as a positive signal (lower disciplinary response) to encourage disclosure over concealment
Detection methodology is reviewed at defined cadence and on material change to AI service landscape; new discovery channels are added as the ecosystem evolves

KPI Scoring Model
The 10-level scale, evidence anchors, aggregation rule, and target-setting guidance that determine how Controls are measured and how the Healthy / Watch / Attention thresholds are derived.
10-Level Maturity Scale with Evidence Anchors
| Level | Band | Description | Evidence Anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - Absent | Initial | No controls exist. The area is not addressed: no approach, no activity, no record. Coverage, Execution, Documentation, Reporting, and Review are all None. | No process, no procedure, no records. Asked about the control, the answer is "we don't do this" or "we haven't started". |
| 2 - Ad Hoc / Informal | Initial | The control is performed only reactively or informally. Covers two real-world states sharing the same defining weakness — no systematic, documented, owned approach: (a) reactive — activity occurs on demand or in response to an incident; and/or (b) informal-but-routine — activity is performed with some regularity by individuals, but depends on those people, follows no documented process, and has no formally accountable owner. Coverage and Execution are inconsistent or person-dependent; Documentation is inconsistent or absent; Reporting and Review are absent. | No documented process and no formally accountable owner. Activity is triggered by demand, incident, or individual habit rather than a defined cadence. Records (if any) live in individuals' notes, inboxes, or heads rather than a system of record. If the activity stopped because one person left, it was Level 2. |
| 3 - Planned | Developing | A systematic approach has been recognised, defined, and committed to, but is not yet operating. Gaps are identified; improvement is planned and resourced. Execution and Documentation remain inconsistent; Reporting and Review are not yet reliable. | A documented intention exists (charter, project plan, roadmap entry) with a named owner, allocated resource, and a target date. Execution has not yet begun, or exists only as a pilot. |
| 4 - Implementing | Developing | The systematic approach is being implemented. Process and tooling are partly in place and in use. Coverage and Execution are becoming consistent but are not yet complete; Documentation is consistent; Reporting and Review are still inconsistent. | A documented process exists with a named owner and is in use across at least part of scope. Coverage gaps are known and tracked. Review cadence is not yet routine. |
| 5 - Managed | Established | The systematic approach is operational and maintained as business-as-usual. Required process and tools are used consistently. All five attributes are consistent. | Process operates to a documented cadence across full scope. Outputs are recorded systematically. Periodic review occurs at the defined cadence. Named accountability exists with role-based backup. Owners can produce evidence on request without preparation effort. |
| 6 - Integrated | Established | The control is consciously aligned with the wider governance system and with strategic, tactical, and operational planning. It appears in roadmaps, objectives, and KPIs/OKRs with forward-looking targets — not just current-state scores. All five attributes remain consistent. | Level 5 evidence plus the control appears in at least one of: (a) a current-year executive or board roadmap with a forward target; (b) a non-security business unit's planning document; or (c) a KPI/OKR with a measurable forward trajectory. The forward target must be explicitly documented, quantified, and tracked. A qualitative mention ("we plan to mature this") does not satisfy the anchor. |
| 7 - Measured | Optimising | The control is actively analysed for improvement. Metrics and trend analysis are used routinely to identify weaknesses and drive change; improvement is evidence-led rather than opinion-led. All five attributes consistent. | Metrics are analysed at a defined cadence. In-year improvement decisions are traceable to data findings — not opinion or audit findings alone. Trend analysis is visible in periodic reporting. |
| 8 - Optimising | Optimising | Improvement is continuous and largely self-sustaining. The area refines its own process and tooling based on data, anticipates change rather than reacting to it, and consistently meets or beats its targets. All five attributes consistent. | Process and tooling refinements occur self-directed, based on data, without an external trigger (audit, incident, regulatory pressure). The control regularly meets or exceeds its targets. There is demonstrable anticipation of change — updates ahead of regulatory change or ahead of a threat-landscape shift. |
| 9 - Innovating | Leading | The control extends the wider system's capability. It identifies and introduces genuinely new functionality, process, or tooling that did not previously exist — raising the ceiling for what the organisation can do, not just doing the existing thing better. All five attributes consistent. | The control introduces capability that did not previously exist in the organisation — new process, new tooling, new measurement, or new linkage to a business outcome. The change is internally visible and demonstrably new, distinct from "we improved our existing X". |
| 10 - Leading | Leading | The control is a recognised business enabler at the external edge of practice. It unlocks new business opportunity, shapes practice beyond the organisation, and is benchmarked against — rather than benchmarking. All five attributes consistent. | Externally visible artefacts required: (a) published guidance, case studies, or industry working-group leadership; (b) a formal benchmarking position — the organisation is benchmarked against by others; or (c) recognition by an industry body, regulator, or peer consensus. Level 10 is a recognition of fact, not an aspiration. If asked "are we Level 10?" and the answer involves "we think we are", it is not Level 10. |
Target-Setting Guidance
Targets are set per Control. Without guidance, every Control risks being targeted at Level 8-10, which is unrealistic and dilutes the model's analytical signal. Recommended defaults by Control category:
| Control category | Default target range |
|---|---|
| Foundational governance Controls — policy documentation, procedure documentation, administrative controls which do not require quantitative analysis for effectiveness | 6 |
| Operational baseline Controls — event monitoring, identity & access, CTEM, incident response, change management, backup & recovery | 6-7 |
| Controls protecting critical assets, or controls requiring more detailed analysis for effectiveness | 7-8 |
| Controls underpinning unique competitive capability or where innovation is a deliberate business outcome | 8-9 |
| Where innovation or external recognition is a real and resourced business outcome (not standard operations) | 9-10 |
— A target above Level 8 should be justified per Control with a written business rationale.
— Controls in general should not have a Level 9-10 Target; setting them as aspirational dilutes the model's signal and shifts focus from achievable improvement.
— Targets are reviewed at the same cadence as the maturity scoring itself.
— A regression in score (Current falls below the prior measurement) is itself a finding that warrants documented explanation — not an automatic failure.
The Five Assessment Attributes
Every level is assessed against five attributes. The overall level is governed by the weakest attribute — all five must reach a level's threshold for the Control to score at that level.
| Attribute | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Coverage | Across what proportion of the in-scope estate does the approach apply? |
| Execution | Is the activity actually performed, consistently, as defined? |
| Documentation | Is the approach and its output recorded in a system of record? |
| Reporting | Are results surfaced to those who need them, on a cadence? |
| Review | Is the approach periodically examined and improved? |
Scoring Protocol — Decision Tree
To make scoring repeatable across assessors, determine the level by answering gate questions in sequence and stopping at the first “no”. The level is the highest band for which all gates are satisfied. Score the five attributes individually first, then apply the gates — the attribute-level data is more diagnostic than the final number.
All six checks must be true to reach Level 5. Any box unchecked → the Control stays at Level 4, regardless of how advanced other attributes are.
External Crosswalk
A one-line interpretation aid so auditors, customers, and benchmarking surveys can read the scores without translation disputes. Mappings are approximate and for orientation only.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - Absent | Initial | 0 Incomplete | — | — | 0 Incomplete |
| 2 - Ad Hoc / Informal | Initial | 1 Initial | Tier 1 (Partial) | Reactive | 1 Initial |
| 3 - Planned | Developing | 1-2 | Tier 1-2 | Reactive-Early | 2 Managed |

| 9 - Innovating | Leading | (beyond model) | (beyond model) | Exemplary | (beyond model) |
| 10 - Leading | Leading | (beyond model) | (beyond model) | Exemplary | (beyond model) |
Baldrige caps its six-level scale at Exemplary and does not distinguish novelty (Level 9) from external recognition (Level 10); both map to Exemplary. CMMI v3.0 deliberately caps at five levels, partly to avoid incentivising novelty-for-its-own-sake.
