How Quick Policy verifies against Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

Standard facts
Why Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 matters for your operating model

- • Directly shapes policy families including Information Security, Governance, Vendor Risk — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
