Coverage crosswalk

A ISO/IEC 27011:2024 to MITRE D3FEND crosswalk, built to order

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which MITRE D3FEND controls your existing ISO/IEC 27011:2024 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

ISO/IEC 27011:2024 into MITRE D3FEND
Not published yet

This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.

If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

  • Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 21% in the header counts how many ISO/IEC 27011:2024 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many MITRE D3FEND 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/IEC 27011:2024 and MITRE D3FEND?

ISO/IEC 27011:2024 has 39 controls across its framework, while MITRE D3FEND covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 11 overlapping controls (21% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Technological, where 10 ISO/IEC 27011:2024 controls have no direct MITRE D3FEND equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO/IEC 27011:2024 and MITRE D3FEND?

Of 39 total ISO/IEC 27011:2024 controls, 11 map directly to MITRE D3FEND controls, representing 21% coverage. The remaining 33 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO/IEC 27011:2024 to MITRE D3FEND?

33 ISO/IEC 27011:2024 controls have no direct equivalent in MITRE D3FEND. The highest concentration of gaps is in Technological with 10 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 27011:2024 and MITRE D3FEND?

The domain with the highest gap count is Technological (10 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
