What are the key differences between 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) and NIST SP 800-187?

3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) has 43 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-187 covers 32 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 22 overlapping controls (51% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Security for Specific Services, where 4 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) controls have no direct NIST SP 800-187 equivalent.

How many controls map between 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) and NIST SP 800-187?

Of 43 total 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) controls, 22 map directly to NIST SP 800-187 controls — representing 51% coverage. The remaining 21 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) to NIST SP 800-187?

21 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-187. The highest concentration of gaps is in Security for Specific Services with 4 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.

Which control domains have the most gaps between 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) and NIST SP 800-187?

The domain with the highest gap count is Security for Specific Services (4 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
