NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 41.8% of CIS Controls v8
64 of the 153 controls in CIS Controls v8 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 89 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 CIS Controls v8 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.
119 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.
System component inventory maintained and periodically updated is the same artefact an asset inventory review needs.
Implementing malicious code protection at entry and exit points is anti malware deployment.
Updating malicious code protection mechanisms is signature update evidence.
Real time scanning of files from external sources covers removable media scanning.
Cryptographic protection of backup CUI at storage locations is protection of recovery data.
Controlling boundaries, separating publicly accessible subnetworks and using managed interfaces is secure architecture.
The system security plan documents boundary, environment and connections, the network documentation sought.
Wireless access protected by authentication and encryption is the secure protocol evidence cited.
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.
