This number is directional. It says how much of ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents your HIPAA Security Rule 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.

28 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.

Recovering Data and System Availability3 of 3 evidenced
Preventing Malicious Insiders1 of 1 evidenced
Detecting Cyber Security Incidents and Responding3 of 6 evidenced, 3 to do
Limiting the Extent of Cyber Security Incidents4 of 10 evidenced, 6 to do
Preventing Malware Delivery and Execution6 of 17 evidenced, 11 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.
