To conclude this 5 part series on the importance of comprehensive and deliberate NHI governance, we are pleased to share this self assessment framework to help organizations understand where they are in their access management maturity journey.
In case you missed it, here’s what we’ve covered so far:
1. Outnumbered and underprotected: the hidden risk of non-human identities
2. Beyond humans: governing machine access at scale
3. Start governing NHIs by managing access, not credentials
4. Close the NHI governance gap
From human users to NHIs and agents, from multi-cloud to on-prem environments, this assessment tool will help you understand your strengths and your gaps in securing the modern access lifecycle.
Modern Access Management Maturity Curve
Knowing your maturity phase isn’t about where you aspire to be, it’s about where you actually are today. This checklist is designed to help security, platform, and DevSecOps teams quickly identify where they fall along the Modern IAM Maturity Curve. It’s not a scorecard. It’s a mirror.
Use it to spark conversation, highlight gaps, or assess how fragmented (or redundant) your current tools might be. If nothing else, it’ll help you name what’s working and what needs to be addressed.

Frequently asked questions
How do you assess your organization’s access management maturity?
Organizations assess access management maturity by evaluating how much standing access remains, how well non-human identities are governed, and how automated their access reviews are.
What are the stages of maturity on the path to zero standing privilege?
The stages of maturity toward zero standing privilege progress from broad, standing access to scoped roles, then to fully just-in-time, ephemeral permissions.
Which gaps, standing access, NHIs, ephemeral access, should teams prioritize first?
Teams should prioritize closing standing access first, then bringing non-human identities under governance, before tackling fully ephemeral access across every system.
How does P0 Security help organizations advance their access management maturity?
P0 Security helps organizations advance their access management maturity by automating the shift from standing access to just-in-time, least-privilege enforcement.
