The HIPAA Security Rule to FedRAMP Moderate crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which FedRAMP Moderate 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 FedRAMP Moderate lands at 26.9%, while FedRAMP Moderate into HIPAA Security Rule lands at 77.6%, 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 FedRAMP Moderate, the other asks the reverse.
87 of 323 FedRAMP Moderate controls are evidenced by work you have already done for HIPAA Security Rule. 236 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Information access management is the documented access control policy.
Grounded in 164.308(a)(4)(i) Information Access Management (Standard). Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Device Lock | Pattern-hiding Displays. Conceal, via the device lock, information previously visible on the display with a publicly viewable image
Every one of the 87 evidenced controls and 236 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
52 of 67 HIPAA Security Rule controls are evidenced by work you have already done for FedRAMP Moderate. 15 are genuine gaps.

- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 96% 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 FedRAMP Moderate 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.
