The PCI DSS 4.0 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 PCI DSS 4.0 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. PCI DSS 4.0 into Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 lands at 60.4%, while Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 into PCI DSS 4.0 lands at 41%, 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 PCI DSS 4.0 evidence buys you for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1, the other asks the reverse.
119 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for PCI DSS 4.0. 78 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Requires periodic reviews confirming personnel follow security policies and procedures.
Grounded in 12.4.2 Quarterly PCI compliance reviews (SP). 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 119 evidenced controls and 78 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
102 of 249 PCI DSS 4.0 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 147 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Infrastructure and virtualization security policy and procedures are the same artefact.
Grounded in CCM-IVS-01 Infrastructure and Virtualization Security Policy and Procedures. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Roles and responsibilities for performing activities in Requirement 1 are documented, assigned, and understood.
Every one of the 102 evidenced controls and 147 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 96% in the header counts how many PCI DSS 4.0 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.
