The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to Azure Security Benchmark crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which Azure Security Benchmark 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 Azure Security Benchmark lands at 72.9%, while Azure Security Benchmark into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 35.5%, 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 Azure Security Benchmark, the other asks the reverse.
62 of 85 Azure Security Benchmark controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 23 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Classifying assets by the business risk they carry records their risk.
Grounded in CCM-DCS-05 Assets Classification. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Tag resources, track ownership, and decommission unused resources securely with documented lifecycle procedures.
Every one of the 62 evidenced controls and 23 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
70 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Azure Security Benchmark. 127 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
A mandated DevOps security standard is the application security policy and standard.
Grounded in ASBv3-GS-10 Define and implement DevOps security strategy. 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 70 evidenced controls and 127 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 64% 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 Azure Security Benchmark 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.
