FedRAMP Moderate covers 69.8% of AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar
44 of the 63 controls in AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar are already satisfied by evidence you collected for FedRAMP Moderate. 19 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 FedRAMP Moderate 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.
108 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.
The incident response plan defines roles, responsibilities and contacts for responders
Incident handling across preparation, detection, containment, eradication and recovery matches
The plan covers the full response life cycle and is reviewed and updated
Testing the incident response capability with documented results is the same requirement
Documented response procedures for anticipated scenarios are part of the required plan
Testing at a defined frequency using defined tests covers simulations and exercises
Coordinating incident response testing with related plans is the exercise scoping requirement
Lessons learned from handling must be incorporated into procedures, training and controls
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.
