Frequently asked questions
What framework does the assessment use?
The assessment is aligned to DAMA-DMBOK, DCAM, and leading digital maturity frameworks. It evaluates 7 capability pillars -- Data Governance, Data Quality, Data Architecture, Data Analytics, Data Security & Compliance, Data Operating Model, and AI Readiness -- using a 5-point maturity scale from 'Not Implemented' to 'Optimised'. Foundational pillars carry higher weights, and gating rules prevent inflated scores when critical capabilities are underdeveloped.
How are maturity scores calculated?
Each question is scored 1-5 and weighted by its criticality within its pillar. Pillar scores are then combined using a fixed weighting model (Governance 20%, Quality 15%, Architecture 15%, Analytics 15%, Security 15%, Operating Model 10%, AI Readiness 10%). Four gating rules can lower your overall score if foundational pillars -- like Governance or Security -- fall below key thresholds. This prevents organisations from achieving high scores while having critical gaps.
Which industries does the benchmarking cover?
Benchmarks are available for: Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail & eCommerce, Technology, Telecommunications, Government & Public Sector, Energy & Utilities, Logistics, and Education. If your industry is not listed, your results are compared against a General Industry baseline derived from a cross-sector sample of over 1,000 organisations.
Where does the benchmark data come from?
Our initial benchmarks are derived from published data management maturity research, DAMA community surveys, and industry analyst reports. They represent established consensus figures for each sector. As the DM360 user base grows, we will replace these with live benchmarks recalculated from anonymised assessment results, with a minimum sample size of 10 organisations per sector to ensure statistical validity.
How long does the assessment take?
The free 21-question assessment takes approximately 10-15 minutes. The premium 49-question assessment takes around 25-30 minutes. After clicking Start, you choose your perspective -- Data & Technology, Financial & Risk, or Business & Strategy -- before the questions begin. Both assessments can be paused and resumed -- your progress is saved automatically.
Who should complete the assessment?
The assessment is available in three role-based perspectives, so it is no longer limited to data specialists. The Data & Technology perspective is designed for CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, and Data Architects. The Financial & Risk perspective frames every question around ROI, cost, and regulatory exposure -- ideal for CFOs, CROs, and Finance Directors. The Business & Strategy perspective focuses on strategic outcomes, competitive advantage, and agility -- suited for CEOs, COOs, MDs, and Board Members. The scoring framework is identical across all three -- only the question language changes. For the most accurate results, we recommend involving two or three stakeholders from different perspectives and comparing their responses.
What are team assessment packs?
Team packs allow a company to assess multiple stakeholders in one order. An admin receives a dashboard link to invite respondents via magic links -- no accounts needed. Each respondent gets their own individual PDF report. An aggregated organisation report is generated once 3 or more respondents complete the assessment, showing cross-respondent consensus, perspective comparison, and organisation-level maturity. Contact us for team pricing.
How do magic-link invites work?
After a team pack is activated, the admin visits their dashboard and enters each respondent's name, email, and preferred perspective. The system sends a unique, secure link to each respondent. Clicking the link takes them straight into the premium assessment -- no login or signup required. Each link is single-use and expires with the order (90 days).
What does the premium report include?
The premium report is a ~30-page executive diagnostic PDF. It includes: an executive summary, your maturity score across all 49 capabilities, a capability heatmap, industry benchmark comparison, financial impact estimation of your data maturity gaps, risk exposure analysis across five business risk categories, AI readiness assessment, and a strategic improvement priority index. The report is generated immediately and emailed to you as an attachment.
What happens in the free strategy consultation?
After purchasing the premium report, you receive a complimentary 30-minute strategy consultation with a DM360 consultant. During the session, we review your report findings, discuss your organisation's specific context, and deliver a tailored 12-Month Data Strategy Roadmap. This roadmap is not included in the automated report -- it is prepared and presented during the consultation. To prepare, we ask that you share the report ahead of time and identify your top 2-3 data challenges.
How is my assessment data handled?
Your assessment responses and report data are stored securely on Microsoft Azure infrastructure (South Africa North region where available). We do not sell or share individual assessment data with third parties. Aggregated, anonymised data may be used to improve industry benchmark accuracy over time. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting info@dm360.co.za.
Can I take the assessment more than once?
Yes. The free assessment can be taken as many times as you like -- useful for tracking improvement over time or assessing different business units. Each premium report is a separate once-off purchase (R45 800) and generates a new full diagnostic PDF. There is no subscription -- you only pay when you need a new report.
