NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0CIS Controls v8

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 covers 50.3% of CIS Controls v8

77 of the 153 controls in CIS Controls v8 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 76 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

CIS Controls v8 has 153 controls. Holding NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 already evidences 77 of them, so the work in front of you is 76 controls, not 153, which is 50% of the standard rather than all of it.

That is the whole claim. We do not know your hourly rate, how long a control takes you, or how many people you have, so there is no figure here in dollars or weeks. 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.

This number is directional. It says how much of CIS Controls v8 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.

321 candidate mappings were examined and 190 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.

NIST-CSF-ID.AM-01CIS-1.1argued against and upheld
Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory

Both require a maintained inventory of organization-managed hardware assets.

NIST-CSF-DE.CM-09CIS-10.1argued against and upheld
Deploy and Maintain Anti-Malware Software

Monitoring computing hardware and software for adverse events is evidenced by anti-malware deployment.

NIST-CSF-PR.DS-11CIS-11.1argued against and upheld
Establish and Maintain a Data Recovery Process

Backups created, protected, maintained and tested requires a documented recovery process.

NIST-CSF-PR.DS-11CIS-11.2argued against and upheld
Perform Automated Backups

Creation of backups is directly required by this outcome.

NIST-CSF-PR.DS-11CIS-11.3argued against and upheld
Protect Recovery Data

Protection of backup data is directly required by this outcome.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-02CIS-12.1argued against and upheld
Ensure Network Infrastructure is Up-to-Date

Maintaining software commensurate with risk covers network infrastructure currency.

NIST-CSF-PR.IR-01CIS-12.2argued against and upheld
Establish and Maintain a Secure Network Architecture

Protecting networks from unauthorized access requires segmented, least privilege architecture.

NIST-CSF-ID.AM-03CIS-12.4argued against and upheld
Establish and Maintain Architecture Diagram(s)

Maintained representations of authorized network communication are architecture diagrams.

Claims that did not hold

173 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.

NIST-CSF-ID.AM-08CIS-1.1
Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory

retired metered-API path. 56 percent of its output was refuted wherever it was re-judged, so its residue is not trusted evidence. Superseded by judgement on the Claude Max plan 2026-08-19.
