Records Management and Information Governance Assessments and Maturity Models

This post is an attempt to gather all of the publicly available assessments and maturity models in one place, for my own use as well as a resource to others. There is a pretty strong bias towards public sector models because they are the ones that are publicly available. 

If you know of one I'm missing, please let me know - language is not an issue, geography is not an issue, and if it's behind a registration or pay wall that's OK too. Even analyst or vendor assessments and maturity models are OK - provided the assessments and models are. In other words, no 10-question "assessments", no super sales pitches. Send them to me at jwilkins13@gmail.com.

If you are aware of a maturity model for a discipline that would fit under the broader IG umbrella besides RM, e.g. IM, privacy, eDiscovery, etc. let me know about those as well and I will either list them at the end or make a separate post.

Iron Mountain IGHealthrate - https://www.ironmountain.com/ca/en/resources/best-practice-guides/m/measuring-enterprise-ig-maturity-with-ighealthrate Note that this is more of a framework than a formal assessment and maturity model. The assessment itself is available from Iron Mountain.

Launched 2009 - translated into a number of different languages - fully open source. Developed by Real Story Group and Wipro - the last count was over 20,000 downloads.

It was adopted as part of the massive Mike2.0 framework in 2010.

Needs updating but still stands the test of time pretty well.
