The CIS Controls v8 to C5 (Germany) crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which C5 (Germany) controls your existing CIS Controls v8 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. CIS Controls v8 into C5 (Germany) lands at 34.7%, while C5 (Germany) into CIS Controls v8 lands at 43.8%, 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 CIS Controls v8 evidence buys you for C5 (Germany), the other asks the reverse.
42 of 121 C5 (Germany) controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CIS Controls v8. 79 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
An accurate, detailed and current inventory of every asset that can store or process data is the asset record required
Grounded in CIS-1.1 Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Document, communicate and issue acceptable use and safe handling instructions spanning approval for acquisition through disposal, classification and labelling, secure configuration, software versions and patching, unsupported software,...
Every one of the 42 evidenced controls and 79 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
67 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for C5 (Germany). 86 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
C5 keeps asset records complete, accurate and valid across the lifecycle with every change logged.
Grounded in C5-AM-01 Asset Inventory. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Ensure that a process exists to address unauthorized assets on a weekly basis. The enterprise may choose to remove the asset from the network, deny the asset from connecting remotely to the network, or quarantine the asset.
Every one of the 67 evidenced controls and 86 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 73% in the header counts how many CIS Controls v8 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many C5 (Germany) 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.
