The FedRAMP Moderate to APRA CPS 234 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which APRA CPS 234 controls your existing FedRAMP Moderate 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. FedRAMP Moderate into APRA CPS 234 lands at 66.7%, while APRA CPS 234 into FedRAMP Moderate lands at 5.9%, 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 FedRAMP Moderate evidence buys you for APRA CPS 234, the other asks the reverse.
16 of 24 APRA CPS 234 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for FedRAMP Moderate. 8 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Organizational assessment and approval of an external service before use matches the required judgement.
Grounded in SA-9(1) External System Services | Risk Assessments and Organizational Approvals. (a) Conduct an organizational assessment of risk prior to the acquisition or outsourcing of information security services; and (b) Verify that the acquisition or outsourcing. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
The Board carries ultimate responsibility for the entity information security and must ensure it is maintained in proportion to the threats facing the information assets.
Every one of the 16 evidenced controls and 8 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
19 of 323 FedRAMP Moderate controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APRA CPS 234. 304 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Assessors must be skilled specialists functionally independent of the activity being tested.
Grounded in CPS234-P30 Independence and Skill of Testing Personnel. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Develop and disseminate access control policy and procedures; review at least annually (FedRAMP parameter); update following defined events.
Every one of the 19 evidenced controls and 304 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 13% in the header counts how many FedRAMP Moderate controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many APRA CPS 234 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.
