Coverage crosswalk

The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to NIS2 Directive crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIS2 Directive 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.

Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 into NIS2 Directive

39.3%

11 of 28 NIS2 Directive controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 17 are genuine gaps.

Machine verified. Claude Code on the Max plan, judged in context, signed off 2026-08-20. 58 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed by a pass whose job was to argue against them.Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.

Evidenced: Art.21.2.a Policies on risk analysis and on information system security

Approved information governance policy set, communicated and reviewed annually, is the policy limb.

Grounded in CCM-GRC-01 Governance Program Policy and Procedures. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.

Approval of the measures taken under Article 21 sits with the management body itself and cannot be delegated away to the security function. The body has to take the decision, then keep oversight of how the measures are actually...

Every one of the 11 evidenced controls and 17 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

NIS2 Directive into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1

Not published yet

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.

Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 26% 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 NIS2 Directive 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.
