Summary
Having awareness of the maturity of a system is an invaluable reference to understand how ready this system is to be deployed on a numeric scale. This topic invites applicants to submit proposals for the development of a maturity assessment framework that serves as a reference for the development of civil security technology-based solutions.
Detailed Call Description
Scales using metrics are widely used and have been adapted to different domains and they may have been defined for different purposes and often focusing on non-technological aspects of technology development.
The framework that will be developed should be cross-disciplinary and combine different readiness scales in an aggregated manner in order to be able to deliver holistic and quantitative maturity assessments agglutinating different perspectives (e.g. technological, systemic, societal, etc.).
The project is expected to deliver tools that allow the guided and/or the self-assessment of the maturity of concrete security solutions being developed under the frame of EU-funded security research work programmes. Furthermore, the project should explore the options, also from a business perspective, for the exploitation of the results beyond the project lifetime, including the setting up of formal mechanisms for the certification of readiness of security solutions by entrusted bodies.
The scales proposed should be robust, repeatable and agile, so they can be trusted, replicated, and applied to different types of security solutions in the different domains covered by this Work Programme. Additionally, the scales proposed have to rely as much as possible in existing and recognised scales and methods that show the appropriate quality features to ensure their reliability.
