CMMC 2.0AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar

CMMC 2.0 covers 31.7% of AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar

20 of the 63 controls in AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar are already satisfied by evidence you collected for CMMC 2.0. 43 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 AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar your CMMC 2.0 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.

80 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.

Infrastructure Protection5 of 9 evidenced, 4 to do
Detection2 of 4 evidenced, 2 to do
Incident Response3 of 8 evidenced, 5 to do
Data Protection4 of 11 evidenced, 7 to do
Identity & Access Management4 of 15 evidenced, 11 to do
Security Foundations2 of 8 evidenced, 6 to do
Application Security0 of 8 evidenced, 8 to do

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.

IR.L2-3.6.1SEC 10: How do you anticipate, respond to, and recover from incidents? | SEC10-BP02argued against and upheld
Develop incident management plans

An incident handling capability spanning preparation to recovery is the same plan

IR.L2-3.6.3SEC 10: How do you anticipate, respond to, and recover from incidents? | SEC10-BP04argued against and upheld
Develop and test security incident response playbooks

Testing the incident response capability is how playbooks are exercised

IR.L2-3.6.3SEC 10: How do you anticipate, respond to, and recover from incidents? | SEC10-BP07argued against and upheld
Run simulations

Periodic testing of the response capability is the same simulation requirement

IA.L2-3.5.3SEC 1: How do you securely operate your workload? | SEC01-BP02argued against and upheld
Secure account root user and properties

MFA for privileged accounts is the root user protection this control requires

SI.L2-3.14.3SEC 1: How do you securely operate your workload? | SEC01-BP04argued against and upheld
Stay up to date with security threats and recommendations

Monitoring security alerts and advisories and acting on them is the identical requirement

IA.L2-3.5.7SEC 2: How do you manage identities for people and machines? | SEC02-BP01argued against and upheld
Use strong sign-in mechanisms

Enforcing minimum password complexity is the password policy element

IA.L2-3.5.3SEC 2: How do you manage identities for people and machines? | SEC02-BP01argued against and upheld
Use strong sign-in mechanisms

MFA for privileged and non-privileged accounts is the strong sign-in requirement

AC.L2-3.1.1SEC 3: How do you manage permissions for people and machines? | SEC03-BP01argued against and upheld
Define access requirements

Limiting access to authorized users, processes and devices is the access requirement definition

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.
