Explanation
Capability Maturity Models (CMM) are frameworks that describe the key elements of effective processes for various domains, such as software engineering, project management, or information security. CMM serve as a benchmark for an organization to assess its current level of maturity and identify the areas for improvement. CMM can help an organization to establish, standardize, measure, control, and optimize its procedures in systems development, which is the process of creating, maintaining, and enhancing information systems. Experience in the industry, definition of security profiles, and human resource planning efforts are not the main focus of CMM, although they may be influenced by the maturity level of the organization.
