Cloud Security Maturity Model

I designed and implemented a comprehensive cloud security maturity model built specifically around Wiz CNAPP capabilities to assess and elevate security posture across business units. The framework leverages Wiz's native detection categories and security graph to evaluate teams against best practices across critical domains—including misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, secrets exposure, identity and access risks, network exposure, and container security. By establishing measurable KPIs derived from Wiz findings and scoring mechanisms based on risk severity and remediation velocity, the model provides both a current-state assessment and a clear roadmap for advancing through defined maturity levels. This Wiz-centric approach enables leadership to identify coverage gaps, prioritize remediation efforts based on actual risk context, and track tangible security improvements over time. The maturity model has become instrumental in demonstrating ROI from our Wiz investment, fostering accountability across engineering teams, and creating a data-driven framework for security excellence that translates platform insights into measurable business outcomes.
