What are the key differences between ISO 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-88?

ISO 27001:2022 has 106 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-88 covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 14 overlapping controls (12% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in A.5 Organizational Controls, where 33 ISO 27001:2022 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-88 equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27001:2022 and NIST SP 800-88?

Of 106 total ISO 27001:2022 controls, 14 map directly to NIST SP 800-88 controls — representing 12% coverage. The remaining 104 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 800-88?

104 ISO 27001:2022 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-88. The highest concentration of gaps is in A.5 Organizational Controls with 33 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 800-88?

The domain with the highest gap count is A.5 Organizational Controls (33 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
