PCI DSS 4.0 covers 51.1% of FedRAMP Moderate
165 of the 323 controls in FedRAMP Moderate are already satisfied by evidence you collected for PCI DSS 4.0. 158 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
FedRAMP Moderate has 323 controls. Holding PCI DSS 4.0 already evidences 165 of them, so the work in front of you is 158 controls, not 323, which is 49% 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 165 controls of FedRAMP Moderate you do not have to implement again, which is $1.81 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 165 already evidenced are | 660 hours | 1,320 hours | 2,640 hours |
| and the 158 remaining are | 632 hours | 1,264 hours | 2,528 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 FedRAMP Moderate your PCI DSS 4.0 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.
628 candidate mappings were examined and 349 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.
Requires documented, current and communicated identification and authentication policies.
Requires documented, current and communicated access control policies and procedures.
Idle sessions must require the user to re authenticate to reactivate.
Remote access from outside the network must use multifactor authentication.
Remote access accounts used by third parties must be managed and monitored.
Non console administrative access must be encrypted with strong cryptography.
Authorized and unauthorized wireless access points must be managed and tested for.
Network security controls must be installed between wireless networks and the environment.
Claims that did not hold
346 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.
