Other controls in Media Protection

You are reading one control. How much of CMMC 2.0 have you already done?

CMMC 2.0 MP.L2-3.8.6 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CMMC 2.0 your existing evidence covers. Hold FedRAMP Moderate and 108 of 110 CMMC 2.0 controls already carry evidence.

If you hold FedRAMP Moderate98.2% covered · 2 gapsIf you hold NIST SP 800-171 Rev 394.5% covered · 6 gapsIf you hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 585.5% covered · 16 gapsIf you hold ISO 27001:202279.1% covered · 23 gapsIf you hold ISO 27002:202267.3% covered · 36 gapsIf you hold CIS Controls v864.5% covered · 39 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. 1 were rejected on the FedRAMP Moderate pair alone.
