FedRAMP ModerateCIS Controls v8

FedRAMP Moderate covers 62.7% of CIS Controls v8

96 of the 153 controls in CIS Controls v8 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for FedRAMP Moderate. 57 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

CIS Controls v8 has 153 controls. Holding FedRAMP Moderate already evidences 96 of them, so the work in front of you is 57 controls, not 153, which is 37% 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 96 controls of CIS Controls v8 you do not have to implement again, which is $3.11 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 you4 hours8 hours16 hours
the 96 already evidenced are384 hours768 hours1,536 hours
and the 57 remaining are228 hours456 hours912 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 CIS Controls v8 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.

218 candidate mappings were examined and 48 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 did not hold

48 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.

SC-45CIS-12.2
Establish and Maintain a Secure Network Architecture

did not survive the adversarial verification pass run by qwen3-235b-a22b-2507 via openrouter. No per-edge rationale was recorded at the time, so the process is stated rather than a reason invented.

Claimed at low confidence before it was rejected.

AC-17CIS-12.2
Establish and Maintain a Secure Network Architecture

did not survive the adversarial verification pass run by qwen3-235b-a22b-2507 via openrouter. No per-edge rationale was recorded at the time, so the process is stated rather than a reason invented.

Claimed at medium confidence before it was rejected.

AC-6CIS-12.2
Establish and Maintain a Secure Network Architecture

Held back 2026-08-19. Generated by the retired metered path, refuted at 56 percent wherever re-judged. Pair pulled from sale pending a rebuild on the Max plan.

Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.

AC-17CIS-12.7
Ensure Remote Devices Utilize a VPN and are Connecting to an Enterprise’s AAA Infrastructure

Held back 2026-08-19. Generated by the retired metered path, refuted at 56 percent wherever re-judged. Pair pulled from sale pending a rebuild on the Max plan.

Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.

IA-2(6)CIS-12.7
Ensure Remote Devices Utilize a VPN and are Connecting to an Enterprise’s AAA Infrastructure

retired metered-API path. 56 percent of its output was refuted wherever it was re-judged, so its residue is not trusted evidence. Superseded by judgement on the Claude Max plan 2026-08-19.

Claimed at medium confidence before it was rejected.

SC-39CIS-12.8
Establish and Maintain Dedicated Computing Resources for All Administrative Work

did not survive the adversarial verification pass run by qwen3-235b-a22b-2507 via openrouter. No per-edge rationale was recorded at the time, so the process is stated rather than a reason invented.

SC-7(5)CIS-12.8
Establish and Maintain Dedicated Computing Resources for All Administrative Work

did not survive the adversarial verification pass run by qwen3-235b-a22b-2507 via openrouter. No per-edge rationale was recorded at the time, so the process is stated rather than a reason invented.
