MultiRATE

Holistic framework for the maturity evaluation of readiness level for security technologies

Motivation

In recent years, there are plenty of metrics that try to evaluate the maturity of products/systems/processes when identifying their deployment readiness. Even though an excessive effort has been made to integrate widely used frameworks, methodologies, and indicators in the products/systems/processes, this leads to limited usage from the EU-funded security R&I projects. As a result, a robust scaling framework is more than of utmost importance.

Ambition & Impact

MultiRATE (Holistic framework for the MatUrity evaLuaTIon of ReAdiness level for security TEchnologies) aims to propose a scaling framework that will rely on the existing established readiness level approaches and will formally combine them into one acceptable and reliable framework. MultiRATE will be able to evaluate and apply the readiness of all aspects of products/systems/processes. It will make thorough research on the existing methodologies and will develop a well-established scale taking into consideration several areas of knowledge such as the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, Integration Readiness Level (IRL), Commercialisation Readiness Level (CRL), Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL), Security, Privacy and Ethics Readiness Level (SPRL) and Societal Readiness Level (SRL). These RLs will set the basis for the creation of the holistic MultiRATE framework that will evaluate the readiness of all aspects of a product/system/process.
