1. Recent trends in information and cyber security maturity assessment : a systematic literature reviewAlenka Baggia, Alenka Brezavšček, 2025, review article Abstract: This work represents a comprehensive and systematic literature review (SLR)
that follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses) guidelines for research assessing information and cyber security maturity. The
period from 2012 to 2024 was considered and the final collection of 96 studies was taken
into account. Our findings were summarised in two stages, a quantitative analysis and
a qualitative synthesis. In the first part, various quantitative indicators were used to
analyse the evolution of the information and cyber security maturity assessment domain
over the last twelve years. The qualitative synthesis, which was limited to 36 research
papers, categorises the studies into three key areas: the development of new maturity
models, the implementation of established models and frameworks, and the advancement
of methodologies to support maturity assessments. The findings reveal significant progress
in sector-specific customisation, the growing importance of lightweight models for small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the integration of emerging technologies. This
study provides important insights into the evolving landscape of information and cyber
security maturity assessment and provides actionable recommendations for academia and
industry to improve security resilience and support the adoption of tailored, effective
maturity models

2. Multi-attribute assessment of digital maturity of SMEsMirjana Kljajić Borštnar, Andreja Pucihar, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to keep pace with large enterprises, thus they need to digitally transform. Since they usually lack resources (budget, knowledge, and time) many countries have their support environment to help SMEs in this endeavor. To be able to ensure the right kinds of support, it is crucial to assess the digital maturity of an enterprise. There are many models and assessment tools for digital maturity, however, they are either theoretical models, partial, vendor oriented, or suited for large enterprises. In this paper, we address the problem of assessing digital maturity for SMEs. For this purpose, we developed a multi-attribute model for assessment of the digital maturity of an SME. We followed the design science research approach, where the multi-attribute model is considered as an IT artifact. Within the design cycle, the decision expert (DEX) methodology of a broader multi-attribute decision making methodologies was applied. The developed model was validated by a group of experts and upgraded according to their feedback and finally evaluated on seven real-life cases. Results show that the model can be used in real business situations.

3. Organizational maturity and sustainability orientation influence on DMS life cycle : case analysisSandra Jordan, Simona Sternad Zabukovšek, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: The topic of the article addresses the management of the document management system (DMS), which represents one of the important steps for organizations to speed up the implementation of business processes, achieve better control over documents, and ensure safer operations. When implementing and using DMS, the importance of the organization’s maturity shall not be forgotten, as it gives the organization a framework to evaluate and improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the organization’s DMS, which can contribute to better decision-making and increased productivity. On the other hand, sustainable-oriented organizations are likely to show interest in choosing, implementing, and using DMS. In the article, the impact of an organization’s maturity and the role of sustainability on the DMS lifecycle are researched. Results are presented based on a case analysis of Company X. Supporting the case analysis, structured interviews with the project leader on the clients’ and the project leader on the providers’ side have been performed, which shall give a deeper insight into DMS implementation and the importance of sustainability and organizational maturity, resulting in more successful DMS implementation and use.
