Coverage crosswalk

The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 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 800-53 Rev 5 lands at 34.3%, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 71.1%, 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 800-53 Rev 5, the other asks the reverse.

Gap: CCM-A&A-03 Risk Based Planning Assessment

Drive the scope and frequency of independent assessments from a documented risk assessment, so higher risk systems and processes are examined more often than lower risk ones.

Every one of the 140 evidenced controls and 57 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 98% 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 800-53 Rev 5 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.

What are the key differences between Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 has 197 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 300 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 193 overlapping controls (98% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in GRC - Governance, Risk & Compliance, where 2 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.

How many controls map between Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

Of 197 total Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls, 193 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, representing 98% coverage. The remaining 4 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
