Compliance Map

Compliance Map

Map security controls to compliance frameworks for "$ARGUMENTS" covering framework selection, control-to-framework mapping, multi-framework coverage analysis, and gap identification.

Process

1. Select frameworks to map:

   • Determine applicable frameworks based on industry, geography, and contractual requirements
   • Common frameworks: ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, CIS Controls, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR
   • If context is unclear, ask the user which frameworks are relevant
   • Read plugins/security/shared/security-controls-matrix.md for reference control catalog

2. Inventory existing security controls:

   • Read .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/ directory for existing security artifacts
   • Catalog controls already defined across all phases (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover)
   • For each control: document control ID, description, implementation status, evidence

3. Create control-to-framework mapping matrix:

   • Build a matrix with controls as rows and frameworks as columns
   • Map each control to applicable framework requirements
   • Use framework-specific control references:
     • ISO 27001 — Annex A control numbers (A.5 through A.18)
     • NIST CSF — function/category/subcategory (e.g., PR.AC-1)
     • SOC 2 — Trust Service Criteria (CC1 through CC9, availability, confidentiality, privacy)
     • CIS Controls — control numbers (CIS 1 through CIS 18)
     • PCI DSS — requirement numbers (1 through 12)
     • HIPAA — Security Rule sections (administrative, physical, technical safeguards)

4. Identify controls satisfying multiple frameworks:

   • Highlight controls that map to requirements across two or more frameworks
   • Quantify multi-framework coverage efficiency (controls providing the most cross-framework coverage)
   • Prioritize these high-leverage controls for implementation and evidence collection
   • Note where a single control satisfies requirements differently per framework (may need additional evidence)

5. Identify framework-specific gaps:

   • For each framework, list requirements NOT covered by current controls
   • Categorize gaps by severity: critical (mandatory requirements), significant (important but compensating controls may exist), minor (best practice)
   • Note where compensating controls may partially satisfy requirements
   • Estimate effort to close each gap

6. Prioritize gap remediation:

   • Rank gaps by: regulatory risk (fines, penalties), audit timeline, customer requirements, effort to remediate
   • Identify gaps that can be closed by extending existing controls vs. requiring new controls
   • Create remediation plan with owners, deadlines, and resource requirements
   • Define interim risk acceptance for gaps that cannot be immediately addressed

7. Write the artifact to .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/compliance-map.md with heading:

   Compliance Map

   Include sections:

   • Applicable Frameworks — selected frameworks with rationale
   • Control Inventory — existing controls with implementation status
   • Mapping Matrix — controls mapped to framework requirements
   • Multi-Framework Coverage — controls providing cross-framework efficiency
   • Gap Analysis — uncovered requirements per framework with severity
   • Remediation Plan — prioritized gap closure with owners and timeline

Output

The compliance map written to .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/compliance-map.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:

• Frameworks mapped and overall coverage percentage per framework
• High-leverage controls providing multi-framework coverage
• Critical gaps requiring immediate attention
• Remediation priorities and timeline
