Maturity assessment models have repeatedly been applied to education and to cyber security with the aim of improving the performance and management of private and public institutions. However, no attempts have been made so far to create a framework for the evaluation of cyber security education, which is an increasingly pressing matter due to the demand for cyber security professionals in the European Union. This paper contributes with a proposal for a maturity assessment model of cyber security education, including a discussion of one of the main issues in the field: the definition of knowledge units for the standardization of cyber security education in Europe.
