CMMC vs Essential Eight

CMMC Level 2  ·  ASD Essential Eight  ·  data 2026-10-27

Requirement-level comparison of CMMC Level 2 and ASD Essential Eight, in both directions, derived from published crosswalks and ControlMapping's curated topics.

Have CMMC → need Essential Eight

126 reqs 57 mapped · 69 loosely related · 0 no mapping Open in gap view →

Of 126 ASD Essential Eight requirements, 57 map to something in CMMC, 69 are only loosely related, and 0 have no mapping in our data.

Essential Eight here means the ISM controls ASD tags for Maturity Levels One to Three; each row shows its levels (ML1–ML3). ASD publishes no crosswalk to other frameworks, so every match is ControlMapping editorial.

Check these: only loosely related (a shared CSF outcome, not a mapping) (69)

Crosswalk a published crosswalk (NIST, ENISA, CIS, PCI SSC) makes the link · Editorial ControlMapping's judgement where no crosswalk exists; the reason is shown · Loosely related only shares a CSF 2.0 outcome: worth checking, not a mapping · No mapping in our data nothing mapped in our data; often new work, but check the coverage notes.
