NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 covers 44.7% of Azure Security Benchmark
38 of the 85 controls in Azure Security Benchmark are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 47 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 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 already evidences 38 of them, so the work in front of you is 47 controls, not 85, which is 55% 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 38 controls of Azure Security Benchmark you do not have to implement again, which is $7.87 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 38 already evidenced are | 152 hours | 304 hours | 608 hours |
| and the 47 remaining are | 188 hours | 376 hours | 752 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 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 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.

Claims that did not hold
2 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.
