The HIPAA Security Rule to CMMC 2.0 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which CMMC 2.0 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 CMMC 2.0 lands at 37.3%, while CMMC 2.0 into HIPAA Security Rule lands at 49.3%, 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 HIPAA Security Rule evidence buys you for CMMC 2.0, the other asks the reverse.
41 of 110 CMMC 2.0 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for HIPAA Security Rule. 69 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Technical controls allowing only authorized persons or programs access is the same limitation.
Grounded in 164.312(a)(1) Access Control (Standard). Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Monitor and control remote access sessions so each remote connection is authorized, visible to the organization and subject to enforcement.
Every one of the 41 evidenced controls and 69 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
33 of 67 HIPAA Security Rule controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CMMC 2.0. 34 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Periodic risk assessment of operations, assets and individuals is the required risk analysis.
Grounded in RA.L2-3.11.1 Risk Assessments. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Covered entities and business associates must ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all electronic protected health information (ePHI) they create, receive, maintain, or transmit; protect against reasonably anticipated...
Every one of the 33 evidenced controls and 34 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 73% 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 CMMC 2.0 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.
