ZTA Maturity Model
A model describing stages of zero-trust adoption, typically CISA's traditional / initial / advanced / optimal across pillars, that gives organizations a structured way to assess progress and plan next steps.
ZTA maturity models name the stages of progress: from traditional (implicit trust, perimeter-based) through initial, advanced, to optimal (continuous verification, fully automated, comprehensive). CISA's model is influential, with pillars covering identity, devices, networks, applications/workloads, and data plus cross-cutting capabilities (visibility, automation, governance). As a ZTA topic, the maturity model is one of the most-used reference tools, anchoring conversations and planning across many organizations.
Introduced in: Zero Trust Architecture
Examples
- Using CISA's stages and pillars to communicate ZTA progress.
- Identifying advanced-stage gaps to focus the next year of work.
