NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3C5 (Germany)

NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 50.4% of C5 (Germany)

61 of the 121 controls in C5 (Germany) are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 60 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 C5 (Germany) your NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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.

120 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.

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.

03.04.10C5-AM-01argued against and upheld
Asset Inventory

Component inventory developed, documented and reviewed to stay current and accurate.

03.15.03C5-AM-02argued against and upheld
Acceptable Use and Safe Handling of Assets Policy

Rules of behavior describe user responsibilities and are acknowledged before access.

03.08.03C5-AM-04argued against and upheld
Decommissioning of Hardware

Media sanitized or destroyed before disposal, release or reuse, with verification.

03.15.03C5-AM-05argued against and upheld
Commitment to Permissible Use, Safe Handling and Return of Assets

Acknowledgment of rules of behavior is required before access is authorized.

03.14.06C5-COS-01argued against and upheld
Technical safeguards

System monitoring detects attacks and indicators of attack in inbound and outbound traffic.

03.13.01C5-COS-02argued against and upheld
Security requirements for connections in the Cloud Service Provider's network

External connections only through managed interfaces with defined boundary requirements.

03.14.06C5-COS-03argued against and upheld
Monitoring of connections in the Cloud Service Provider's network

Monitoring devices deployed strategically to observe traffic across the network.

03.13.06C5-COS-04argued against and upheld
Cross-network access

Network traffic denied by default so cross-network access is granted by exception.

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.
