This research presents a model for assessing information systems cybersecurity maturity level. The main purpose of the model is to provide comprehensive support for information security specialists and auditors in checking information systems security level, checking security policy implementation, and compliance with security standards. The model synthesized based on controls and practices present in ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 and the neural network of direct signal propagation. The methodology described in this paper can also be extended to synthesis a model for different security control sets and, consequently, to verify compliance with another security standard or policy. The resulting model describes a real non-automated process of assessing the maturity of an IS at an acceptable level and it can be recommended to be used in the process of real audit of Information Security Management Systems.
