API 1164vsNIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
See exactly how API 1164 controls map to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
Need this as a report you can hand to an assessor? A coverage crosswalk for this pair can be built to order.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
API 1164 maps to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 with 17% coverage across 22 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 132 API 1164 controls identifies 110 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in Protect (PR): access control, training, data security, protection processes, maintenance, protective technology (Section 7) – API 1164.

A API 1164 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls your existing API 1164 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 17% in the header counts how many API 1164 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between API 1164 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
API 1164 has 132 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 1,014 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 22 overlapping controls (17% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Protect (PR): access control, training, data security, protection processes, maintenance, protective technology (Section 7) – API 1164, where 39 API 1164 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.
How many controls map between API 1164 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
Of 132 total API 1164 controls, 22 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, representing 17% coverage. The remaining 110 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping API 1164 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
110 API 1164 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in Protect (PR): access control, training, data security, protection processes, maintenance, protective technology (Section 7) – API 1164 with 39 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 API 1164 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
The domain with the highest gap count is Protect (PR): access control, training, data security, protection processes, maintenance, protective technology (Section 7) – API 1164 (39 gaps).
