The NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 to Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls your existing NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 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. NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 71.1%, while Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 into NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 lands at 34.3%, 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 evidence buys you for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1, the other asks the reverse.
140 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. 57 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
CA-1 requires documented assessment, authorization and monitoring policy and procedures.
Grounded in NIST800-CA-1 Policy and procedures for assessment, authorization, and monitoring. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Drive the scope and frequency of independent assessments from a documented risk assessment, so higher risk systems and processes are examined more often than lower risk ones.
Every one of the 140 evidenced controls and 57 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
103 of 300 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 197 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Identity and access management policy and procedures are the same policy artefact.
Grounded in CCM-IAM-01 Identity and Access Management Policy and Procedures. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Concurrent Session Control. Limit the number of concurrent sessions for each [organization-defined] to [organization-defined]
Every one of the 103 evidenced controls and 197 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 69% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1?
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 300 controls across its framework, while Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 covers 197 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 208 overlapping controls (69% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SC - System and Communications Protection, where 27 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1?
Of 300 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 208 map directly to Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls, representing 69% coverage. The remaining 112 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 to Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1?
112 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. The highest concentration of gaps is in SC - System and Communications Protection with 27 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1?
The domain with the highest gap count is SC - System and Communications Protection (27 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
