The CIS Controls v8 to ISO 27701:2019 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 27701:2019 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.
27 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CIS Controls v8. 81 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Filtering between segments delivers segregation in networks.
Grounded in CIS-13.4 Perform Traffic Filtering Between Network Segments. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Every requirement of ISO/IEC 27001 that speaks of information security must be read as extending to the protection of privacy as it may be affected by the processing of personally identifiable information, so the management system is...
Every one of the 27 evidenced controls and 81 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 78% 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 ISO 27701:2019 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.
