The HIPAA Security Rule 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 HIPAA Security Rule 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. HIPAA Security Rule into C5 (Germany) lands at 33.9%, while C5 (Germany) into HIPAA Security Rule lands at 76.1%, 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 HIPAA Security Rule evidence buys you for C5 (Germany), the other asks the reverse.
41 of 121 C5 (Germany) controls are evidenced by work you have already done for HIPAA Security Rule. 80 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Policies specifying the proper functions and manner of performance for workstations are the acceptable use instructions required
Grounded in 164.310(b) Workstation Use (Standard). Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Maintain inventory procedures that keep asset records complete, accurate, valid and consistent throughout the asset lifecycle, whether populated automatically or by the responsible owners, hold the attributes the risk procedure needs...
Every one of the 41 evidenced controls and 80 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
51 of 67 HIPAA Security Rule controls are evidenced by work you have already done for C5 (Germany). 16 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says

If a clearinghouse is part of a larger organization, isolate ePHI from the larger organization. NIST recommends network segmentation and separate access domains.
Every one of the 51 evidenced controls and 16 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 93% in the header counts how many HIPAA Security Rule 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.
