What are the key differences between ISO 27043 and NIST SP 800-61?

ISO 27043 has 52 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-61 covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 18 overlapping controls (35% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Investigative, where 6 ISO 27043 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-61 equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27043 and NIST SP 800-61?

Of 52 total ISO 27043 controls, 18 map directly to NIST SP 800-61 controls — representing 35% coverage. The remaining 34 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27043 to NIST SP 800-61?

34 ISO 27043 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-61. The highest concentration of gaps is in Investigative with 6 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 27043 and NIST SP 800-61?

The domain with the highest gap count is Investigative (6 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
