The Open Group information security management maturity model' ('''O-ISM3''') is an Information Security Management Framework that provides an approach for designing, planning, implementing, and governing information security management systems.{{fact|date=July 2018}}

==History==

The original motivation behind O-ISM3 development was to narrow the gap between theory and practice for information security management systems, and the trigger was the idea of linking security management and maturity models. O-ISM3 strove to keep clear of a number of pitfalls with previous approaches.<ref name="mikko">Siponen, Mikko (2002-08-24).

The project looked at [[Capability Maturity Model Integration]], [[ISO 9000]], [[COBIT]], [[ITIL]], [[ISO/IEC 27001:2013]], and other standards, and found some potential for improvement in several fields, such as linking security to business needs, using a process based approach, providing some additional details (who, what, why) for implementation, and suggesting specific metrics, while preserving compatibility with current IT and security management standards.{{fact|date=July 2018}}
