GitOps Maturity Levels

Level 0
Initial / Ad Hoc

Level 0 in the GitSecOps maturity model is often denoted as the "Initial" stage, reflecting the foundational and rudimentary state of security practices in code repositories. At this stage, security measures are typically ad hoc, and there is limited formalization of GitSecOps processes.

Level 1
Foundational Security

In Level 1 of the GitSecOps maturity model, organizations begin to establish basic version control systems for their code repositories, but security practices are often reactive rather than proactive. There is a growing recognition of the need for security, albeit at a fundamental level.

Level 2
Integration and Automation

In Level 2 of the GitSecOps maturity model, organizations advance by integrating security practices more deeply into their development workflows. Automation tools are introduced to streamline security checks, allowing for quicker identification and remediation of vulnerabilities in code repositories.

Level 3
Advanced Security Integration

At this stage, organizations have achieved a high level of integration between security and development, with automated security testing becoming a standard part of the development pipeline. Security is no longer an afterthought, but a proactive and continuous process, enabling efficient identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle.

Benefits for different teams.

GitOps Maturity Levels — Details

Level 3
Scaled GitOps

Security is proactively integrated into development processes with automated testing, ensuring rapid vulnerability detection and mitigation for more secure software

Achieve consistent management of thousands of clusters using GitSecOps 3 at scale. Ensure policy controls and governance are maintained uniformly across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. Implement comprehensive audit and compliance management consistently across on-premises, edge, and cloud infrastructures.

Level 2
Enterprised GitOps

Security is systematically incorporated into development processes through automated testing, enabling the swift detection and mitigation of vulnerabilities, resulting in enhanced software security.

Efficiently manage a multitude of clusters with GitSecOps 2. Maintain uniform policy controls and governance across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. Implement thorough audit and compliance management consistently across on-premises, edge, and cloud infrastructures.

Level 1
Core
GitOps

Security is integrated into development processes, primarily using automated testing, to detect and address vulnerabilities, leading to improved software security.

Effectively manage clusters with GitSecOps 1. Maintain consistent policies and governance across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. Ensure basic audit and compliance management across these infrastructures.

Level 0
Prerequisites for GitOps

Security is considered during development using testing to find and fix vulnerabilities, helping enhance software security

Manage clusters with GitSecOps, maintain policies, and ensure basic audit and compliance.
