How does your cloud maturity measure up? Take HashiCorp’s Cloud Maturity Model Assessment to find out

Did you know that only 8% of organizations are highly cloud-mature? To maximize your success in the cloud, it’s important to know where your organization fits in and the next steps toward cloud maturity. Enter the HashiCorp Maturity Model Assessment, an interactive tool designed to help identify your level of cloud maturity, and offer guidance on how to become more mature to reduce risk, cut costs, and increase development speed.?

The 3 stages of cloud maturity

Working with thousands of customers for over a decade has helped us identify the three common stages of cloud maturity:

Stage 1: Adopting

At this stage, organizations are just beginning their cloud journey by experimenting with cloud solutions or migrating initial workloads. They haven’t? started to fully integrate cloud strategies into their core operations, yet. Instead, they’re focused on understanding cloud capabilities and setting the foundation for future growth.

Stage 2: Scaling

Organizations in the scaling phase are expanding their cloud presence by optimizing cloud operations, increasing the number of applications hosted in the cloud, and integrating more complex workloads. The emphasis shifts to improving efficiency, enhancing security, and managing growing cloud resources.

Stage 3: Standardizing

At this stage, organizations have fully integrated cloud into their operations, with standardized processes, automated workflows, and a robust security framework. The focus is on continuous improvement, driving innovation, and leveraging the cloud to achieve strategic business goals at scale.

Why take the Maturity Model Assessment?

Understanding your organization’s current level of cloud maturity makes it easier to find and adopt practices that will help you:

Cut costs

Knowing where you are on your cloud journey helps identify how to optimize your cloud infrastructure to reduce unnecessary costs. At each phase, there are specific strategies you can implement to improve cost efficiency and minimize waste.

Reduce risk

The biggest benefit that highly mature orgs get from the cloud is better security. Mature practices like automated secret rotation, policy as code, and least-privileged access all help keep sensitive data safe. If you need guidance on strengthening your security posture, minimizing risks, and ensuring compliance, knowing your maturity level is key.

Speed development

Highly mature organizations can innovate and deliver faster. Being cloud-mature means streamlining processes, reducing bottlenecks, and accelerating development cycles so your teams can build quickly and more effectively.
