The APRA CPS 234 to NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 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.
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.
14 of 24 APRA CPS 234 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1. 10 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Names the leadership roles owning risk and distinguishes them from system owners.
Grounded in 161R1-PM-29 Risk Management Program Leadership Roles. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
The Board carries ultimate responsibility for the entity information security and must ensure it is maintained in proportion to the threats facing the information assets.
Every one of the 14 evidenced controls and 10 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 NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 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 APRA CPS 234 and NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1?
APRA CPS 234 has 24 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 covers 191 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 24 overlapping controls (100% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Third Party Arrangements, where 0 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 equivalent.
How many controls map between APRA CPS 234 and NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1?
Of 24 total APRA CPS 234 controls, 24 map directly to NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 controls, representing 100% coverage. The remaining 0 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping APRA CPS 234 to NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1?
0 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1. The highest concentration of gaps is in Third Party Arrangements with 0 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 APRA CPS 234 and NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1?
The domain with the highest gap count is Third Party Arrangements (0 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
