FedRAMP Moderate covers 55.4% of PCI DSS 4.0
138 of the 249 controls in PCI DSS 4.0 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for FedRAMP Moderate. 111 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
PCI DSS 4.0 has 249 controls. Holding FedRAMP Moderate already evidences 138 of them, so the work in front of you is 111 controls, not 249, which is 45% 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 138 controls of PCI DSS 4.0 you do not have to implement again, which is $2.17 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 138 already evidenced are | 552 hours | 1,104 hours | 2,208 hours |
| and the 111 remaining are | 444 hours | 888 hours | 1,776 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 PCI DSS 4.0 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.
454 candidate mappings were examined and 98 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.
Communications protection policy and procedures are documented, approved and reviewed on a cycle.
Configuration settings establish and enforce the standard network devices must meet.
Configuration change control reviews, approves and logs changes to network devices.
The security architecture documents the network design and its components.
Information flow enforcement rests on documented flows of the protected data.
Periodic review identifies the services and ports actually in use.
Least functionality requires ports, protocols and services to be justified.
Periodic review of functions, ports and services is the rule set review.
Claims that did not hold
92 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.
