What are the key differences between ISO/IEC 27003:2017 and NIST SP 800-39?

ISO/IEC 27003:2017 has 57 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-39 covers 20 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (12% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Operation (Clause 8), where 11 ISO/IEC 27003:2017 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-39 equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO/IEC 27003:2017 and NIST SP 800-39?

Of 57 total ISO/IEC 27003:2017 controls, 7 map directly to NIST SP 800-39 controls — representing 12% coverage. The remaining 50 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO/IEC 27003:2017 to NIST SP 800-39?

50 ISO/IEC 27003:2017 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-39. The highest concentration of gaps is in Operation (Clause 8) with 11 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/IEC 27003:2017 and NIST SP 800-39?

The domain with the highest gap count is Operation (Clause 8) (11 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
