What are the key differences between CMMC 2.0 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?

CMMC 2.0 has 110 controls across its framework, while NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 covers 106 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (6% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Access Control, where 21 CMMC 2.0 controls have no direct NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 equivalent.

How many controls map between CMMC 2.0 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?

Of 110 total CMMC 2.0 controls, 7 map directly to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls — representing 6% coverage. The remaining 103 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping CMMC 2.0 to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?

103 CMMC 2.0 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. The highest concentration of gaps is in Access Control with 21 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 CMMC 2.0 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?

The domain with the highest gap count is Access Control (21 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
