Cybersecurity Capability Value Scales

This appendix provides an example set of object measurement value scale definitions for 113 enterprise cybersecurity capabilities grouped by functional area. Value scales help associate an enterprise’s vocabulary with measurement. There is no one set of terms that defines value scales. In the end, an enterprise needs meaningful measurements. Meaningful here means the enterprise uses the measurements to determine whether and where cybersecurity needs to be improved.

Figure G-1 illustrates the functional areas and the number of associated cybersecurity capabilities described in this appendix.
