The ISO 27002:2022 to CIS Controls v8 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which CIS Controls v8 controls your existing ISO 27002:2022 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
76 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO 27002:2022. 77 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Asset inventory with owners and accuracy requirements is the same artefact CIS asks for.
Grounded in iso-27002-2022::5.9 Inventory of information and other associated assets. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Ensure that a process exists to address unauthorized assets on a weekly basis. The enterprise may choose to remove the asset from the network, deny the asset from connecting remotely to the network, or quarantine the asset.
Every one of the 76 evidenced controls and 77 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
47 of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CIS Controls v8. 46 are genuine gaps.

A maintained data classification scheme is exactly this classification control.
Grounded in CIS-3.7 Establish and Maintain a Data Classification Scheme. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Requires an information security policy together with supporting topic specific policies. These must be defined, approved by management, published, communicated to and acknowledged by relevant personnel and relevant interested parties, and...
Every one of the 47 evidenced controls and 46 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 71% in the header counts how many ISO 27002:2022 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many CIS Controls v8 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.
