The CMMC 2.0 to C5 (Germany) crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which C5 (Germany) controls your existing CMMC 2.0 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. CMMC 2.0 into C5 (Germany) lands at 26.4%, while C5 (Germany) into CMMC 2.0 lands at 57.3%, 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 CMMC 2.0 evidence buys you for C5 (Germany), the other asks the reverse.
32 of 121 C5 (Germany) controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CMMC 2.0. 89 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Baseline configurations and inventories of systems covering hardware, software, firmware and documentation across the lifecycle are the asset records required
Grounded in CM.L2-3.4.1 System Baselining. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Document, communicate and issue acceptable use and safe handling instructions spanning approval for acquisition through disposal, classification and labelling, secure configuration, software versions and patching, unsupported software,...
Every one of the 32 evidenced controls and 89 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
63 of 110 CMMC 2.0 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for C5 (Germany). 47 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
C5's role and rights concept and access policy cover unique usernames, least privilege, segregation of duties, approvals and periodic review.
Grounded in C5-IDM-01 Policy for user accounts and access rights. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Lock the user session after a defined period of inactivity and conceal previously displayed content behind a pattern hiding display until the user reauthenticates.
Every one of the 63 evidenced controls and 47 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 85% in the header counts how many CMMC 2.0 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many C5 (Germany) 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.
