Abstract

The African Union (AU) Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection was accepted in June 2014 by the Member States of the AU. For any Member State who intends to take the Convention seriously, it will be very important to have some instrument against which they could evaluate their present Cyber Security position. No such instrument exists presently. The purpose of this paper is to define such an initial instrument. The instrument consists of a Maturity Model for a part of the Convention. The Maturity Model is intended to help Member States of the African Union to evaluate their Cyber Security status against a specific part of the Convention.
