What CAMP measures

CAMP scores each security capability on maturity and criticality so you can see where you stand and what matters most.

Last updated September 22, 2026

CAMP, short for Capability And Maturity Prioritization, is the baseline assessment that tells Pytheus where your security program actually stands. It measures two things for every capability: how mature the capability is today, and how much that capability matters to your organization.

A capability is a discrete security function or process, such as Patch Management or Identity Provisioning. Capabilities are the source of truth in Pytheus. Everything else, from your Pytheus Score to your roadmap, traces back to how each capability is assessed here.

The two scales

Maturity is scored 0 to 5:

  • 0 None no capability in place

  • 1 Initial ad hoc or reactive

  • 2 Managed repeatable but inconsistent

  • 3 Defined documented and standardized

  • 4 Quantitative measured and controlled

  • 5 Optimized continuously improved

Criticality rates how important a capability is to you: 1 nice-to-have, 2 core, 3 compliance-required. See Criticality ratings for how that judgment is made.

How it is organized

Capabilities are grouped into 12 domains, including Identity & Access Management, Cloud Security, Security Operations, and AI/ML Security. CAMP opens on a Progress view so you can see completion and maturity at a glance before you dive in, then work domain by domain. See Progress and completion and Domain-by-domain completion.

Maturity tells you how well you do something. Criticality tells you how much it matters. Pytheus uses both together to decide what to fix first.
