Cybersecurity Readiness of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies in Nigeria: A Quantitative Assessment Using CRMM Framework
Abstract
The increasing sophistication of cyber threats poses a significant risk to government digital infrastructure. This study critically assesses the cybersecurity readiness of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in Nigeria using the Cybersecurity Resilience Maturity Measurement (CRMM) framework. Data from 20 ICT-dependent MDAs were analyzed through a computational model and Python programming. The findings revealed that only four MDAs exhibited very high readiness, six had high readiness, another six showed low-to-medium readiness, and four MDAs demonstrated very low cybersecurity preparedness. The research underscores critical gaps in cybersecurity infrastructure and recommends strengthening cyber policies, training personnel, and enforcing national cyber laws to build resilience against growing cyber threats.
