The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar controls your existing Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 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. Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 into AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar lands at 74.6%, while AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 23.9%, 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 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 evidence buys you for AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar, the other asks the reverse.
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.
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.
- 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 52% in the header counts how many Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar 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.
