What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 39 controls across 16 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

PCI DSS 4.0 · 5 controls

  • 1.2.3 Network diagrams maintained
  • 1.2.4 Data flow diagram of account data
  • 12.1.1 An overall information security policy is: • Established. • Published. • Maintained. • Disseminated to all relevant personnel, as well as to relevant vendors and business partners
  • 12.1.2 The information security policy is: • Reviewed at least once every 12 months. • Updated as needed to reflect changes to business objectives or risks to the environment

SOC 2 · 5 controls

  • SOC2-CC3.1 COSO principle 6: Specifies objectives to identify and assess risks
  • SOC2-CC5.1 COSO principle 10: Selects and develops control activities to mitigate risks

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

Other controls in PL - Planning

You are reading one control. How much of FedRAMP High have you already done?

FedRAMP High PL-8 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of FedRAMP High your existing evidence covers. Hold C5 (Germany) and 119 of 410 FedRAMP High controls already carry evidence.

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. 6 were rejected on the C5 (Germany) pair alone.
