CMMC 2.0Azure Security Benchmark

CMMC 2.0 covers 38.8% of Azure Security Benchmark

33 of the 85 controls in Azure Security Benchmark are already satisfied by evidence you collected for CMMC 2.0. 52 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

Azure Security Benchmark has 85 controls. Holding CMMC 2.0 already evidences 33 of them, so the work in front of you is 52 controls, not 85, which is 61% of the standard rather than all of it.

That is the whole claim. We do not know your hourly rate, how long a control takes you, or how many people you have, so there is no figure here in dollars or weeks. 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.

This number is directional. It says how much of Azure Security Benchmark 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.

101 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.

Posture and Vulnerability Management6 of 7 evidenced, 1 to do
Logging and Threat Detection5 of 7 evidenced, 2 to do
Endpoint Security2 of 3 evidenced, 1 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.

CM.L2-3.4.1ASB v3 AM-1argued against and upheld
Track asset inventory and their risks

The same practice requires maintaining inventories of organizational systems

CM.L2-3.4.5ASB v3 AM-4argued against and upheld
Limit access to asset management

Enforcing physical and logical access restrictions for change limits asset modification

CM.L2-3.4.8ASB v3 AM-5argued against and upheld
Use only approved applications in virtual machine

A deny-all allow-by-exception software policy is application allowlisting on hosts

MP.L2-3.8.9ASB v3 BR-2argued against and upheld
Protect backup and recovery data

Protecting the confidentiality of backup CUI at storage locations is the same requirement

SC.L2-3.13.8ASB v3 DP-3argued against and upheld
Encrypt sensitive data in transit

Cryptographic mechanisms preventing unauthorized disclosure in transit is the same requirement

SC.L2-3.13.16ASB v3 DP-4argued against and upheld
Enable data at rest encryption by default

Protecting the confidentiality of CUI at rest is the same requirement

SC.L2-3.13.10ASB v3 DP-6argued against and upheld
Use a secure key management process

Establishing and managing cryptographic keys is the identical requirement

SI.L2-3.14.5ASB v3 ES-2argued against and upheld
Use modern anti-malware software

Periodic and real-time scanning of files from external sources is modern protection

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.
