What are the key differences between 3GPP Security and NIST SP 800-161?

3GPP Security has 31 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-161 covers 31 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 16 overlapping controls (52% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in 3GPP Security: Communications Security, where 4 3GPP Security controls have no direct NIST SP 800-161 equivalent.

How many controls map between 3GPP Security and NIST SP 800-161?

Of 31 total 3GPP Security controls, 16 map directly to NIST SP 800-161 controls — representing 52% coverage. The remaining 15 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping 3GPP Security to NIST SP 800-161?

15 3GPP Security controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-161. The highest concentration of gaps is in 3GPP Security: Communications Security 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 Security and NIST SP 800-161?

The domain with the highest gap count is 3GPP Security: Communications Security (4 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
