ISO 27001:2022AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar

ISO 27001:2022 covers 54% of AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar

34 of the 63 controls in AWS Well-Architected Security Pillar are already satisfied by evidence you collected for ISO 27001:2022. 29 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 ISO 27001:2022 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.

98 candidate mappings were examined and 1 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.

Detection3 of 4 evidenced, 1 to do
Data Protection7 of 11 evidenced, 4 to do
Incident Response5 of 8 evidenced, 3 to do
Infrastructure Protection5 of 9 evidenced, 4 to do
Security Foundations4 of 8 evidenced, 4 to do
Identity & Access Management7 of 15 evidenced, 8 to do
Application Security3 of 8 evidenced, 5 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

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.
