This number is directional. It says how much of Azure Security Benchmark your AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.

98 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.

Where the gaps are

Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.

Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.

Claims that held

A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.

SEC 3: How do you manage permissions for people and machines? | SEC03-BP05ASB v3 AM-2argued against and upheld

SEC 8: How do you protect your data at rest? | SEC08-BP01ASB v3 DP-5argued against and upheld

Customer managed keys for sensitive data is exactly the option this control requires.

SEC 8: How do you protect your data at rest? | SEC08-BP01ASB v3 DP-6argued against and upheld
Use a secure key management process

Centralised key management with hierarchies, secured vault and policy driven rotation matches the standard.

Claims that did not hold

Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
