PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

Proper cryptographic hashing for data-at-rest directly prevents trivial password encoding while the control addresses broader data protection needs.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography mostly match
prevents

Requires appropriate use of cryptography, indirectly discouraging weak encoding schemes.

A.5.17 Authentication information partial match
degrades

Requires secure handling and protection of authentication information, directly addressing weak password encoding.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Enforces secure coding practices that would reject trivial password encoding.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
degrades

Mandates secure authentication mechanisms, which precludes trivial encoding of passwords.
