The ISO 27701:2019 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 27701:2019 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.
27 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CIS Controls v8. 81 are genuine gaps.

Filtering between segments delivers segregation in networks.
Grounded in CIS-13.4 Perform Traffic Filtering Between Network Segments. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Every requirement of ISO/IEC 27001 that speaks of information security must be read as extending to the protection of privacy as it may be affected by the processing of personally identifiable information, so the management system is...
Every one of the 27 evidenced controls and 81 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 53% in the header counts how many ISO 27701:2019 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.

What are the key differences between ISO 27701:2019 and CIS Controls v8?
ISO 27701:2019 has 108 controls across its framework, while CIS Controls v8 covers 153 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 73 overlapping controls (53% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Additional ISO/IEC 27002 guidance for PII controllers, ISO 27701:2019, where 25 ISO 27701:2019 controls have no direct CIS Controls v8 equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO 27701:2019 and CIS Controls v8?
Of 108 total ISO 27701:2019 controls, 73 map directly to CIS Controls v8 controls, representing 53% coverage. The remaining 72 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27701:2019 to CIS Controls v8?
72 ISO 27701:2019 controls have no direct equivalent in CIS Controls v8. The highest concentration of gaps is in Additional ISO/IEC 27002 guidance for PII controllers, ISO 27701:2019 with 25 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between ISO 27701:2019 and CIS Controls v8?
The domain with the highest gap count is Additional ISO/IEC 27002 guidance for PII controllers, ISO 27701:2019 (25 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
