AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar covers 34.9% of NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
37 of the 106 controls in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar. 69 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.
This number is directional. It says how much of NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 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.
121 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.
Alert enrichment and correlation across findings is the analysis of adverse events tested.
Correlating signals across GuardDuty, Security Hub and other tools is multi source correlation.
Aggregating telemetry into a central SIEM enables the cross source correlation required.
Threat intelligence enrichment of findings is exactly the integration this subcategory requires.
Emerging threat feeds incorporated into detection rules evidence intelligence driving analysis.
Network firewall and inspection appliances actively monitor traffic for threats.
VPC flow logs and service logs across all accounts evidence network monitoring.
CloudTrail across all accounts records personnel activity and technology usage for review.
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.
