You are reading one control. How much of Azure Security Benchmark have you already done?

Azure Security Benchmark IM-6 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of Azure Security Benchmark your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 71 of 85 Azure Security Benchmark controls already carry evidence.

If you hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 583.5% covered · 14 gaps If you hold FedRAMP Moderate78.8% covered · 18 gaps If you hold Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.172.9% covered · 23 gaps If you hold ISO 27002:202269.4% covered · 26 gaps If you hold C5 (Germany)65.9% covered · 29 gaps If you hold ISO 27001:202261.2% covered · 33 gaps

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
