Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 covers 78.5% of C5 (Germany)
95 of the 121 controls in C5 (Germany) are already satisfied by evidence you collected for Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1. 26 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
C5 (Germany) has 121 controls. Holding Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 already evidences 95 of them, so the work in front of you is 26 controls, not 121, which is 21% 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 95 controls of C5 (Germany) you do not have to implement again, which is $3.15 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 95 already evidenced are | 380 hours | 760 hours | 1,520 hours |
| and the 26 remaining are | 104 hours | 208 hours | 416 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 C5 (Germany) your Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 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.
195 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.
Every physical and logical asset held in a secured tracking catalogue is this inventory.
Policy defining acceptable use of organisation owned assets reviewed annually is this instruction.
Approved disposal procedures with unrecoverable destruction govern decommissioning.
Writing adherence to information governance policy into engagement terms is the demonstrable commitment.
Classifying physical and logical assets by business risk and recording it is this control.
Analysing impact of plausible disruptions and setting the criteria strategies must meet is the impact analysis rule set.
An approved, communicated and maintained continuity plan is the planning framework.
Strategies to absorb, withstand and recover within appetite are what the framework implements.
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.
The full report
Everything above is a sample. The report is every evidenced control and every gap, with the reasoning and the source document behind each one, in a form you can hand to an assessor. $299, emailed immediately.
