Coverage crosswalk

A GDPR to DORA crosswalk, built to order

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which DORA controls your existing GDPR work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

GDPR into DORA
Not published yet

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 28% in the header counts how many GDPR controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many DORA 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 GDPR and DORA?

GDPR has 40 controls across its framework, while DORA covers 26 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 11 overlapping controls (28% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Chapter III - Rights of the Data Subject, where 11 GDPR controls have no direct DORA equivalent.

How many controls map between GDPR and DORA?

Of 40 total GDPR controls, 11 map directly to DORA controls, representing 28% coverage. The remaining 29 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping GDPR to DORA?

29 GDPR controls have no direct equivalent in DORA. The highest concentration of gaps is in Chapter III - Rights of the Data Subject with 11 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 GDPR and DORA?

The domain with the highest gap count is Chapter III - Rights of the Data Subject (11 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
