What are the key differences between ISO 13485 and MITRE ATT&CK?

ISO 13485 has 44 controls across its framework, while MITRE ATT&CK covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 9 overlapping controls (20% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Product Realisation, where 7 ISO 13485 controls have no direct MITRE ATT&CK equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 13485 and MITRE ATT&CK?

Of 44 total ISO 13485 controls, 9 map directly to MITRE ATT&CK controls — representing 20% coverage. The remaining 35 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 13485 to MITRE ATT&CK?

35 ISO 13485 controls have no direct equivalent in MITRE ATT&CK. The highest concentration of gaps is in Product Realisation with 7 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 ISO 13485 and MITRE ATT&CK?

The domain with the highest gap count is Product Realisation (7 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
