CIS Controls v8 covers 38.2% of PCI DSS 4.0
107 of the 280 controls in PCI DSS 4.0 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for CIS Controls v8. 173 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.
What this leaves you to do
PCI DSS 4.0 has 280 controls. Holding CIS Controls v8 already evidences 107 of them, so the work in front of you is 173 controls, not 280, which is 62% of the standard rather than all of it.
That is the whole claim. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.
In money, using only our numbers. The full report is $299 and names 107 controls of PCI DSS 4.0 you do not have to implement again, which is $2.79 per control identified. That arithmetic uses our price and our count and assumes nothing about you.
In your hours, using your assumption. We do not know what a control costs you to implement, so pick the column that looks like your organisation. These are your figures, not our claim.
| If a control takes you | 4 hours | 8 hours | 16 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| the 107 already evidenced are | 428 hours | 856 hours | 1,712 hours |
| and the 173 remaining are | 692 hours | 1,384 hours | 2,768 hours |
Multiply by your own rate. We publish no rate because we have not measured yours, and a number built on an invented rate is the kind of claim this platform exists to argue against.
This number is directional. It says how much of PCI DSS 4.0 your CIS Controls v8 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.
415 candidate mappings were examined and 264 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19.
Claims that did not hold
264 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.
