CHICAGO — Crisis Point, a crisis management and business continuity advisory firm, today announced the release of the Crisis Management Maturity Assessment, a free, self-service tool that allows organizations to evaluate the strength of their crisis programs across 25 capabilities in five to ten minutes. The assessment is available now at https://www.crisis-point.com/maturity-assessment with no registration and no sales conversation attached.
Despite sustained investment in business continuity and crisis preparedness, most organizations lack a quick, objective way to measure how mature their programs actually are. Consultancy-led frameworks sit behind paid engagements. Vendor-provided assessments feed sales pipelines. ISO standards are lengthy and paywalled. What has been missing is a self-service diagnostic built specifically for crisis management — one that is vendor-neutral, practitioner-designed, and accessible to anyone at no cost.
The Crisis Management Maturity Assessment fills that gap. It evaluates 25 capabilities organized across five domains: three that reflect the core phases of crisis response — Prepare, Respond, and Recover — and two that represent cross-cutting disciplines that shape program quality over time: Govern and Adapt. The result is an honest read on where a program is strong, where it is exposed, and where to focus next. The tool is designed to be used solo or with a team; comparing responses across stakeholders often surfaces the sharpest insights. It is a rapid diagnostic, not a substitute for a full program assessment.
“Over 20 years working inside some of the world’s largest companies, the same question came up every single time: how mature is our crisis program, really?” said Maria Stone, Founder and CEO of Crisis Point. “I never had a quick, objective answer to give. This tool exists because that answer should be accessible to every practitioner — not locked behind a consulting engagement or a software demo.”
Stone’s background spans crisis management and business continuity leadership roles at Fortune 500 organizations including McDonald’s, Kenvue (formerly Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health), Abbott, United Airlines, and Archer Daniels Midland. She founded Crisis Point in May 2026 to bring senior-level crisis management expertise directly to organizations building or maturing their programs.
The Crisis Management Maturity Assessment is free to use and available at [crisis-point.com](https://crisis-point.com). No account creation or sign-up is required.
