APRA CPS 234vsNIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
See exactly how APRA CPS 234 controls map to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
APRA CPS 234 maps to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 with 73% coverage across 35 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 48 APRA CPS 234 controls identifies 13 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in Information security capability (paras 15 to 17) – APRA CPS 234.

The APRA CPS 234 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 crosswalk
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 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 lands at 2.4%, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 into APRA CPS 234 lands at 35.4%, 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, the other asks the reverse.
24 of 1014 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APRA CPS 234. 990 are genuine gaps.
17 of 48 APRA CPS 234 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. 31 are genuine gaps.

- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 73% 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 800-53 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 APRA CPS 234 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
APRA CPS 234 has 48 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 1,014 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 35 overlapping controls (73% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Information security capability (paras 15 to 17) – APRA CPS 234, where 3 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.
How many controls map between APRA CPS 234 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
Of 48 total APRA CPS 234 controls, 35 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, representing 73% coverage. The remaining 13 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 800-53 Rev 5?
13 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in Information security capability (paras 15 to 17) – APRA CPS 234 with 3 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 800-53 Rev 5?
The domain with the highest gap count is Information security capability (paras 15 to 17) – APRA CPS 234 (3 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
