The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to GDPR crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which GDPR 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 GDPR lands at 35%, while GDPR into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 7.6%, 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 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 evidence buys you for GDPR, the other asks the reverse.
14 of 40 GDPR controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 26 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
A working route for rights requests, fulfilled as applicable law requires.
Grounded in CCM-DSP-11 Personal Data Access, Reversal, Rectification and Deletion. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Process personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences, or related security measures, only under the control of official authority or where Union or Member State law authorises the processing and provides appropriate...
Every one of the 14 evidenced controls and 26 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
15 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for GDPR. 182 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
The processing register is an inventory of personal data categories and holdings.
Grounded in GDPR-Art.30 Records of processing activities. 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 15 evidenced controls and 182 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 20% 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 GDPR 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.
