The ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents to UK Cyber Essentials crosswalk

- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 65% in the header counts how many ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many UK Cyber Essentials controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.
