Coverage crosswalk

The ISO 27002:2022 to NIS2 Directive crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIS2 Directive controls your existing ISO 27002:2022 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

Coverage does not run both ways. ISO 27002:2022 into NIS2 Directive lands at 42.9%, while NIS2 Directive into ISO 27002:2022 lands at 24.7%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your ISO 27002:2022 evidence buys you for NIS2 Directive, the other asks the reverse.

12 of 28 NIS2 Directive controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO 27002:2022. 16 are genuine gaps.

24.7%

23 of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIS2 Directive. 70 are genuine gaps.

  • Every gap, with what it requires
  • Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 68% in the header counts how many ISO 27002:2022 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIS2 Directive 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 ISO 27002:2022 and NIS2 Directive?

ISO 27002:2022 has 93 controls across its framework, while NIS2 Directive covers 28 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 63 overlapping controls (68% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022, where 12 ISO 27002:2022 controls have no direct NIS2 Directive equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27002:2022 and NIS2 Directive?

Of 93 total ISO 27002:2022 controls, 63 map directly to NIS2 Directive controls, representing 68% coverage. The remaining 46 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27002:2022 to NIS2 Directive?

46 ISO 27002:2022 controls have no direct equivalent in NIS2 Directive. The highest concentration of gaps is in Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022 with 12 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 27002:2022 and NIS2 Directive?

The domain with the highest gap count is Technological controls – ISO 27002:2022 (12 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
