Coverage crosswalk

The APRA CPS 234 to NIS2 Directive crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIS2 Directive controls your existing APRA CPS 234 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

Coverage does not run both ways. APRA CPS 234 into NIS2 Directive lands at 35.7%, while NIS2 Directive into APRA CPS 234 lands at 75%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your APRA CPS 234 evidence buys you for NIS2 Directive, the other asks the reverse.

A sample of what the report says

Evidenced: CPS 234 para 13 Board Responsibility for Information Security

Approval of the measures sits with the management body itself, which stays liable for them.

Grounded in nis2-directive::Art.20.1 Management body approves the cybersecurity risk-management measures and oversees their implementation. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.

Gap: CPS 234 para 14 Definition of Information Security Roles and Responsibilities

Information security roles and responsibilities must be clearly defined for the Board, senior management, governing bodies and individuals holding decision making, approval, oversight or operational duties.

Every one of the 18 evidenced controls and 6 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

  • 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 100% in the header counts how many APRA CPS 234 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIS2 Directive 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.
