China Data Security Law (DSL)vsNIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
See exactly how China Data Security Law (DSL) controls map to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 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:
China Data Security Law (DSL) maps to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 with 20% coverage across 7 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 35 China Data Security Law (DSL) controls identifies 34 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in Superseded batch representation – China Data Security Law (DSL).

A China Data Security Law (DSL) to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls your existing China Data Security Law (DSL) 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 20% in the header counts how many China Data Security Law (DSL) controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 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 China Data Security Law (DSL) and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
China Data Security Law (DSL) has 35 controls across its framework, while NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 covers 106 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (20% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Superseded batch representation – China Data Security Law (DSL), where 14 China Data Security Law (DSL) controls have no direct NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 equivalent.
How many controls map between China Data Security Law (DSL) and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
Of 35 total China Data Security Law (DSL) controls, 7 map directly to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls, representing 20% coverage. The remaining 34 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping China Data Security Law (DSL) to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
34 China Data Security Law (DSL) controls have no direct equivalent in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. The highest concentration of gaps is in Superseded batch representation – China Data Security Law (DSL) with 14 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 China Data Security Law (DSL) and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
The domain with the highest gap count is Superseded batch representation – China Data Security Law (DSL) (14 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
