Adds SOC-CMM 2.4.2 (Basic) as a new CISO Assistant framework library — a capability maturity model used to self-assess a Security Operations Center (SOC) across 5 domains: Business, People, Process, Technology, Services.
Source: official SOC-CMM self-assessment tool by Rob van Os (soc-cmm.com), licensed CC BY-SA 4.0
Generated using the project's existing tools/convert_library_v2.py tooling rather than a hand-written YAML, following the same approach as other libraries in this repo (e.g. soc2-2017.yaml):
tools/excel/soc-cmm/build_soc_cmm_workbook.py builds a v2-format Excel workbook (library_meta, fwk_meta, fwk_content, scr_meta, scr_content) from the official SOC-CMM assessment source
tools/convert_library_v2.py converts that workbook into the final YAML library
Implementation notes
Each Detailed/Bool question from the source becomes an assessable requirement; Title entries become non-assessable container nodes; free-text "rationale" (Any) fields are excluded as they aren't real requirements
Per-question maturity guidance (1-5 scale, specific wording per question) is preserved in the requirement description, since CISO Assistant's scores_definition only supports one scale per framework, not per-requirement
The source data has a few numbering gaps (child entries without their own parent entry defined); the generator synthesizes empty container nodes to keep the depth sequence contiguous, as required by convert_library_v2.py's depth-based tree inference
Known limitations
SOC-CMM's actual weighted scoring engine (criticality × occurrence/completeness, from the source Excel's internal score matrices) is not reproduced — only the generic 0-5 maturity scale is used. Happy to revisit this if CISO Assistant supports per-requirement weighting, as mentioned in review.
"Capability levels" (a separate 0-3 scale for the Technology/Services domains only) are not modeled
Maturity guidance text is only in English; the French translation covers question titles only
Files added
backend/library/libraries/soc-cmm-2.4.2-basic.yaml — the library
YAML validated with yaml.safe_load (no parse errors)
1025 requirement nodes, no depth gaps > 1, no duplicate ref_id
Spot-checked: Business domain has full 1-5 guidance, Technology domain has no guidance (matches source, which has none for that domain)
[x]tested via actual import into a running CISO Assistant instance — happy to do this
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added the SOC-CMM 2.4.2 “Basic Self-Assessment” library, with English and French descriptions, maturity levels, and assessment requirements covering business, people, process, technology, and services.
Added support for generating a CISO Assistant v2 Excel workbook from the SOC-CMM scheme. The workbook includes framework content, available assessment guidance, and a five-level maturity score definition.

Skipping "Any"-type entries as ancestors can break the depth-contiguity guarantee the docstring relies on.
emit_leaf returns without appending a row when control_type == "Any" (lines 187-190), but still marks the key as emitted. ensure_ancestors_and_emit (208-219) calls emit_leaf on every ancestor in the chain, including intermediate ones. If a control_schemas entry that is itself type "Any" ever sits between an aspect and a deeper assessable descendant, that ancestor's row is entirely dropped (no synthesized placeholder), causing a depth jump (e.g. depth 2 straight to depth 4) for the descendant — exactly the scenario the module's own docstring (lines 156-162) says must be avoided for depth-based tree inference in convert_library_v2.py.
This likely doesn't manifest in the current 2.4.2 dataset (rationale/comment fields are typically leaves, and the PR notes hierarchy checks passed), but the code has no guard against it, so a future regeneration with a different scheme layout could silently corrupt the tree.
♻️ Suggested defensive fix
control_type = meta["control_type"]
if control_type == "Any":
- emitted.add(key)- return # excluded: free-text rationale/comment field, not a requirement+ # Excluded as a *leaf* requirement, but if this key is an ancestor of+ # another emitted key, still emit an empty container row to preserve+ # depth contiguity.+ pass
And only truly skip appending a row when key is the leaf actually being requested (not when acting as an ancestor placeholder), or assert no "Any" entry has children during build_rows.

unchanged.
- Around line 3779-3841: Update the seven child entries identified by ref_id
values Process.2.4.1.1 through Process.2.4.1.7 so their URNs and ref_id fields
use the Process.2.4.2.x sequence, matching parent_urn Process.2.4.2; preserve
their descriptions and translations.
- Around line 10182-10250: Correct the maturity-guidance assignments for
Services.3.12 through Services.3.15: move workflow guidance to Services.3.13,
performance-measurement guidance to Services.3.12, and continuous-improvement
guidance to Services.3.14, leaving Services.3.15 without a ladder. Use the
corresponding Services.2 entries as the content reference and preserve each
question’s existing metadata.
- Around line 207-210: Regenerate all French entries under the translations.fr
section, replacing mixed-language or partially substituted wording with
complete, grammatically correct French questions and titles. In particular,
update the description near the current translations.fr entry so it no longer
contains “is align” or other English fragments, while preserving the underlying
question meaning.
- Around line 4204-4403: Restore the maturity guidance text for the Process
topics identified by ref_id Process.3.2, Process.3.3, Process.3.4, and
Process.3.5 so each topic uses its correct paired guidance: Metrics report
tailoring, Advisories report approval, Education and Awareness reporting lines,
and Communication report-template updates. Preserve all topic names,
descriptions, translations, and child nodes outside these guidance blocks.
In `@tools/excel/soc-cmm/build_soc_cmm_workbook.py`:
- Around line 145-146: Update the guidance-row condition in the parsing logic
around current_key to accept numeric whole-number levels such as 1.0, normalize
b to an integer before appending, and preserve the existing 1–5 range validation
and c.strip() behavior.
- Around line 221-232: Update the domain-row construction in the aspects
iteration to populate each domain’s name[fr] with the appropriate French label
instead of leaving it empty. Preserve the existing English name and row
structure, and use a consistent mapping or established source for all five
top-level domains.

Hi Mr @eric-intuitem , thanks for pointing this out — just pushed a fix addressing both new findings:
guidance rows are now accepted even when openpyxl returns the level as a float (e.g. 1.0) instead of int
the 5 top-level domain nodes (Business/People/Process/Technology/Services) now have an explicit French name; the source scheme doesn't provide translated domain names, so it falls back to the English label rather than being left blank
I also took the opportunity to fix the two "Major" findings from the first review pass (synthesized placeholder nodes now get a visible fallback name, and the French description now includes the maturity guidance text too, not just the title).
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

Add the missing guidance to the Technology questions, or remove the claim.
The new library description says each question is scored on the levels of the maturity guidance shown with it. The Technology assessable questions have no guidance, so this statement is false for them. Revise the description, then regenerate the library YAML.

Hi @Qnadia, thanks a lot for this contribution! We pushed a commit to your branch to get it ready to merge:
Positioning: renamed to "SOC-CMM 2.4.2 - Basic Self-Assessment (manual scoring)". The description now says that scores are set by the assessor and are not the SOC-CMM tool's computed results. Credits name Rob van Os and the SOC-CMM® trademark.
Scale: the generic CMMI labels (0-5) are replaced by levels 1-5, each matching that level of the question's own guidance, as in the official workbook.
CodeRabbit findings:
Line endings are now LF.
Process.2.4.2.x is renumbered, keeping the original URNs so existing answers survive the upgrade.
The 7 placeholder titles are replaced by the real sub-aspect titles.
The Services 3.12-3.15 guidance had shifted by one question and is now realigned with the workbook.
Section headings: headings like "Reports" or "Documentation" (Process 2/3, Technology x.1-6) were assessable and some had picked up the guidance of their first question. They are now plain headings.
Library version bumped to 2.
We're also adding a second variant in #5210: a questionnaire version that reproduces the workbook's maturity and capability results (scoping, "Not required", unanswered questions), checked against the official Excel. The two can coexist: yours for a quick manual self-assessment, the other for results that match the workbook. A follow-up we'd love your help with is the Advanced variant, with per-question importance. Let us know if you're interested!
