A FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) to PCI SSF crosswalk, built to order

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which PCI SSF controls your existing FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) into PCI SSF
Not published yet

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.

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 12% in the header counts how many FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many PCI SSF 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 FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) and PCI SSF?

FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) has 49 controls across its framework, while PCI SSF covers 49 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 6 overlapping controls (12% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Inherent Risk Profile, where 5 FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) controls have no direct PCI SSF equivalent.

How many controls map between FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) and PCI SSF?

Of 49 total FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) controls, 6 map directly to PCI SSF controls, representing 12% coverage. The remaining 43 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) to PCI SSF?

43 FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) controls have no direct equivalent in PCI SSF. The highest concentration of gaps is in Inherent Risk Profile with 5 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.

Which control domains have the most gaps between FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) and PCI SSF?

The domain with the highest gap count is Inherent Risk Profile (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
