Two analysts mapped every item independently to the anchor controls; on disagreement the lower strength and the union of anchor controls were kept, and the item is marked disputed. This is AutoGovern's analysis, not an official CSA or AIUC crosswalk. "Not covered" means our AI-governance anchor controls do not address the item (most cloud-infrastructure controls). It does not mean an organization fails it.
