SYSTEMS, MEDIA, AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING A CROSSWALK ALGORITHM TO IDENTIFY CONTROLS ACROSS FRAMEWORKS, AND FOR UTILIZING IDENTIFIED CONTROLS TO GENERATE CYBERSECURITY RISK ASSESSMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214410 titled 'SYSTEMS, MEDIA, AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING A CROSSWALK ALGORITHM TO IDENTIFY CONTROLS ACROSS FRAMEWORKS, AND FOR UTILIZING IDENTIFIED CONTROLS TO GENERATE CYBERSECURITY RISK ASSESSMENTS
The abstract describes a system that uses a crosswalk algorithm to identify cybersecurity controls across different frameworks and generate cybersecurity risk assessments. The process involves identifying controls in a data structure, determining relatedness between these controls and controls from other frameworks, updating the data structure with selected controls, and generating risk assessments for devices/software based on compliance levels.

Original Abstract Submitted
in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems, methods, and media include utilizing a crosswalk algorithm to identify controls (e.g., cybersecurity controls) across frameworks, and for utilizing identified controls to generate cybersecurity risk assessments. a cybersecurity module may identify one or more controls in a data structure. the process may utilize a crosswalk algorithm to determine a relatedness between the identified controls and different controls of different frameworks. the process may update the data structure with selected different controls, such that a more robust set of controls are identified when the cybersecurity module indexes into the data structure to identify particular controls. additionally, the process may generate a risk assessment for a device/software. the process may generate a risk score for the risk assessment, and the risk score may be based on a determined compliance level for each control determined to be related to a defined risk of interest.
