Mappings are CMDash’s own, seeded with the product and shown on both frameworks they connect. In the product they mean evidence you attach here also counts against the controls listed above.

These connectors produce data relevant to FedRAMP Moderate’s System & Information Integrity family, which is the granularity CMDash publishes — there is no pre-built per-control mapping, and claiming one would be inventing it. You decide which evidence answers which control.

Track SI-3 with evidence behind it

In CMDash this control is a row with an owner, a status, uploaded evidence kept with its full history, and an export an assessor can read.
