What are the key differences between ISO 27799 and NIST SP 800-144?

ISO 27799 has 46 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-144 covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 8 overlapping controls (17% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in ISO 27799: Administrative Safeguards, where 5 ISO 27799 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-144 equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27799 and NIST SP 800-144?

Of 46 total ISO 27799 controls, 8 map directly to NIST SP 800-144 controls — representing 17% coverage. The remaining 38 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27799 to NIST SP 800-144?

38 ISO 27799 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-144. The highest concentration of gaps is in ISO 27799: Administrative Safeguards with 5 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 27799 and NIST SP 800-144?

The domain with the highest gap count is ISO 27799: Administrative Safeguards (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
