Details

This framework is the starting point for the Data Maturity Assessment for Government. It is a self-assessment framework and is organised around 10 topics, intersected with six themes, arranged across rows, with each row providing 5 maturity levels. An assessment is carried out by gathering evidence and information which is used to determine an organisation’s current maturity level for each row.

More information about the first year data maturity goals and how to carry out the maturity assessment is available at Delivering the Data Maturity Assessment: objectives and resources.

  We’re developing a new version of the Data Maturity Assessment framework. Contact datamaturity@dsit.gov.uk for guidance if you’re using the current version - of if you’d like more information.
