Ensuring SOA developed applications security has become crucial to protect against potential damage and is a sign of confidence for companies that would like to start collaboration based on SOA services. The aim of the present paper is to present the principles of a novel tool that supports the assessment of SOA security maturity of organizations: the SOASMM (SOA Security Maturity Model). This model was defined by incorporating information security best practice approaches in the paradigm of service-oriented architecture using an argued approach and mapping models. Security Indicators deduced in our study denote the complexity of security controls as SOA maturity levels get higher. Besides, as the model that we proposed is based on security standards and best practices, it can be further developed to support organizations to evaluate and adjust their security practices according to their SOA migration plan.
