Inputs → Outputs
For every domain and level, the CMSP maps what you're putting in, what you're getting out, what's missing, and what it takes to advance. This is your tool for building the case to leadership.
Planning Philosophy
The 5-Year Cycle
Nothing in security stays optimized forever. That's why the CMSP is cyclical, not linear.
5
Year Cycle

Optimize First, Then Manage

"Optimized" comes before "Managed" — and that's intentional. Level 4 is where the heavy lifting happens: deploying AI, building automation, refining processes. Level 5 is where you arrive once those systems run smoothly. Once you reach steady state, reassess the entire landscape and begin a new plan. What was cutting-edge in Year 1 may be merely adequate by Year 6. This cyclical approach prevents complacency — the most dangerous state in school security.
