CMI (Continuity Maturity Index)

The Continuity Maturity Index (CMI) is a tool used to assess how well an organization is prepared for unexpected disruptions. It measures the maturity of an organization's continuity plans and practices, evaluating areas such as risk management, recovery strategies, and employee training. A higher CMI indicates a more robust and advanced approach to maintaining operations during crises, while a lower score suggests the need for improvement. Essentially, CMI helps organizations understand their readiness to handle emergencies and ensures they can effectively sustain their operations when challenges arise.
