What are the key differences between DORA and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

DORA has 26 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 192 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 6 overlapping controls (23% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in DORA Chapter II: ICT Risk Management, where 10 DORA controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.

How many controls map between DORA and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

Of 26 total DORA controls, 6 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls — representing 23% coverage. The remaining 20 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping DORA to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

20 DORA controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in DORA Chapter II: ICT Risk Management with 10 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 DORA and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

The domain with the highest gap count is DORA Chapter II: ICT Risk Management (10 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
