The FedRAMP Moderate 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 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.
11 of 28 NIS2 Directive controls are evidenced by work you have already done for FedRAMP Moderate. 17 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Documented risk assessment reviewed on frequency with results integrated is the risk analysis limb.
Grounded in RA-3 Risk Assessment. 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.
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.
- 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 17% 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 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.
