What are the key differences between ISO 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

ISO 27001:2022 has 95 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 172 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 78 overlapping controls (82% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in A.5 Organizational Controls, where 9 ISO 27001:2022 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

Of 95 total ISO 27001:2022 controls, 78 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls — representing 82% coverage. The remaining 17 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27001:2022 to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

17 ISO 27001:2022 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in A.5 Organizational Controls with 9 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 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?
