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.
33 of 67 HIPAA Security Rule controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CMMC 2.0. 34 are genuine gaps.

- 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.
