C5 (Germany) covers 50% of UK Cyber Essentials
18 of the 36 controls in UK Cyber Essentials are already satisfied by evidence you collected for C5 (Germany). 18 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 UK Cyber Essentials 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.
47 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.
Defined issuing procedures so every grant demonstrably conforms to the approved role and rights concept.
Documented access management policy and role and rights concept covering unique usernames and approval steps.
Every user and automated component is authenticated before access, by password, certificate or stronger.
Duty change revokes privileged access within 48 hours and all remaining rights within 14 days.
Privileged access issued personally for a limited period, tied to a named individual and logged.
Annual review by owning unit reviewers with deviations corrected or withdrawn within seven days.
Multi factor authentication is mandatory for privileged users, components and applications.
Administration and management console networks are reachable only with multi factor authentication.
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.
