The AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar to Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls your existing AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
Coverage does not run both ways. AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 23.9%, while Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 into AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar lands at 74.6%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar evidence buys you for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1, the other asks the reverse.
47 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar. 150 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Security testing embedded across build and release is direct secure development lifecycle evidence.
Grounded in SEC11-BP02 Automate testing throughout the development and release lifecycle. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Maintain approved audit and assurance policies, procedures and standards that are documented, communicated to the staff they bind, applied in practice, and reassessed at least once a year.
Every one of the 47 evidenced controls and 150 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
47 of 63 AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 16 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
A plan naming internal departments and business critical relationships is the internal roster.
Grounded in CCM-SEF-03 Incident Response Plans. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.

Every one of the 47 evidenced controls and 16 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 100% in the header counts how many AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 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.
