It really depends on the sector / area of applications of the existing standards / frameworks and maturity models you are interested in, since there is basically no treatment of personal data that is not impacted by information technologies and project management methodologies. In some areas, best practices are more connected with integrity of information whereas in others are more dependable from a certain degree of openess and transparency.
I have considered these problems and provided some methodological advice in a paper that attracted lot of attention in 2010-2011 - the 2nd updated edition can be ordered printed on demand from my website, see Guidance On Demand serie, the title is 'Cataloguing the unfindable'.
I think you may find some useful comparisons and benchmarking tables / lists with plenty of references also browsing into the documentation produced in the last five years by (or upon commission of) various departments in central government that have thouroughly worked on project management methodologies and information governance / assurance standards since long - though it may be not easy to understand who has done / is doing what, with what consistent results and with what transferable, usable, reusable and clear directions. I have just tried few days ago to get in touch myself with the office of the current Chief Executive of the Major Projects Authority, John Manzoni, but the Cabinet Office switchboard receptionists say there is nobody there with this name.... The impression is that on the enthusiasm of their disruptive creative playground those working for the Digital Gov Service (and / or for the Efficiency Reform and other related gov policies and plans coordinated by the Minister for the Cabinet Office Mr Maude) could not care less. They have to make a revolution :)
Anyway, it is true that the ambition of any maturity model or matrix is to develop capacity on the grounds of lessons learned from previous experiences and evidences but the information management sector is still very childish and messy in its practices (compared with medicine or engineering for instance) so it seems inevitable at present that if you really want to achieve more and do better you ought to find your own way and stick with it.
