The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 lands at 64.9%, while NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 42.6%, 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 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3, the other asks the reverse.
63 of 97 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 34 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Provisioning process authorises, records and communicates each account grant.
Grounded in CCM-IAM-06 User Access Provisioning. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions; log execution of privileged functions.
Every one of the 63 evidenced controls and 34 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
84 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 113 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
POAM documents, owns and tracks assessment findings to closure with due dates.
Grounded in 03.12.02 Plan of Action and Milestones. 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 84 evidenced controls and 113 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 67% 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 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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.
