ISO 27001:2022 covers 61.2% of Azure Security Benchmark
52 of the 85 controls in Azure Security Benchmark are already satisfied by evidence you collected for ISO 27001:2022. 33 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
Azure Security Benchmark has 85 controls. Holding ISO 27001:2022 already evidences 52 of them, so the work in front of you is 33 controls, not 85, which is 39% 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 52 controls of Azure Security Benchmark you do not have to implement again, which is $5.75 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 52 already evidenced are | 208 hours | 416 hours | 832 hours |
| and the 33 remaining are | 132 hours | 264 hours | 528 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 Azure Security Benchmark 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.
93 candidate mappings were examined and 3 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.
An inventory of information and associated assets with owners must be maintained.
Access to administrative functions is restricted through privileged access control.
Installation of software on operational systems is restricted to authorized software.
Backup copies must be taken and maintained in line with the backup policy.
Backups must be monitored to confirm they complete as required.
Backups must be tested regularly to confirm restoration works.
Labelling procedures must be implemented in line with the classification scheme.
Information must be classified by sensitivity across its handling lifecycle.
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.
