ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE 7 LAYERS OF MATURITY

LAYER 0
BEHAVIOR

We call this Layer Zero, because as IT professionals we cannot control your behavior. We simply use this layer to remind you of best practices.

LAYER 1
DATA PROTECTION

This layer focuses on protecting what is important.

LAYER 2
NETWORK/COMMUNICATION

Protecting your internal network and communication.

LAYER 3
IDENTITY

As the internet and digital solutions grow, you have more accounts and passwords. This layer helps you to secure your online identity.

LAYER 4
HARDWARE/PLATFORM

It is critical that you identify what devices you use and if they are secure. Consistency plays a big part in creating a secure environment.

LAYER 5
MONITOR/AUDIT

Trust but verify via this layer.

LAYER 6
REMEDIATION/RECOVERY

Unfortunately, it is not a matter of if — but when — you will be compromised. Being prepared is critical.

LAYER 7
EDUCATION

Using what you've learned in layers 0-6, it is important to increase your security posture with additional education for our families.
