Assessment Questions

The OBARA framework consists of 8 categories, each category has several topics and for each topic there is a set of maturity questions.

  • A set of quetions will cover the objective of the controls within the framework.
  • Depending on the current practices and the level of formalization for each control, organization's maturity will be scored.
