C5 (Germany)NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3

C5 (Germany) covers 68% of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3

66 of the 97 controls in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for C5 (Germany). 31 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 SP 800-171 Rev 3 your C5 (Germany) 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.

124 candidate mappings were examined and 3 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.

C5-IDM-0303.01.01argued against and upheld
Account Management

C5 automatically locks accounts unused for two months, requires approval to reinstate and revokes them outright after six.

C5-IDM-0203.01.01argued against and upheld
Account Management

C5 requires every grant or change of account and entitlement to conform demonstrably to the approved role and rights concept.

C5-PSS-0903.01.02argued against and upheld
Access Enforcement

C5 restricts service functions behind authorisation checks confirming the requester may perform the action.

C5-COS-0603.01.03argued against and upheld
Information Flow Enforcement

C5 segregates the traffic of different customers at network level under a documented segregation concept.

C5-OIS-0403.01.04argued against and upheld
Separation of Duties

C5 separates rights administration from access approval, development from testing and release, and monitors where separation is infeasible.

C5-IDM-0503.01.05argued against and upheld
Least Privilege

C5 reviews all assigned rights annually using reviewers who know the duties, correcting deviations within seven days.

C5-IDM-0603.01.06argued against and upheld
Least Privilege - Privileged Accounts

C5 issues privileged access personally for a risk based limited period, logs the activity and alerts on misuse indicators.

C5-OPS-1503.01.07argued against and upheld
Least Privilege - Privileged Functions

C5 produces log data identifying user access unambiguously at tenant level to support forensic analysis after an incident.

Claims that did not hold

3 proposed mappings for this pair were rejected. They are kept in the graph rather than deleted, so what was thrown out is as inspectable as what survived. A crosswalk that never rejects anything is not being judged.

C5-IDM-0303.01.08
Unsuccessful Logon Attempts

judged against C5 criterion titles before the framework carried requirement text; does not hold against the real criterion; the C5 criterion title names failed logins but its basic criterion covers only dormancy, locking after two months unused and revoking after six; C5 sets no invalid attempt limit

Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.

C5-OPS-1303.03.01
Event Logging

judged against C5 criterion titles before the framework carried requirement text; does not hold against the real criterion; C5-OPS-13 requires automated analysis and correlation of logging data, not the specification and periodic review of the event types to be logged, which is OPS-10

Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.

C5-PS-0703.10.02
Monitoring Physical Access

judged against C5 criterion titles before the framework carried requirement text; does not hold against the real criterion; C5-PS-07 measures the operating parameters of technical utilities and building environmental conditions; it does not monitor physical access or review entry logs, which is PS-04

Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.
