ISO/SAE 21434vsNIS2 Directive Implementing Acts
See exactly how ISO/SAE 21434 controls map to NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
Need this as a report you can hand to an assessor? A coverage crosswalk for this pair can be built to order.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
ISO/SAE 21434 maps to NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts with 20% coverage across 10 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 50 ISO/SAE 21434 controls identifies 40 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in TARA.

A ISO/SAE 21434 to NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts controls your existing ISO/SAE 21434 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
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.

- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it

- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 20% in the header counts how many ISO/SAE 21434 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts 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/SAE 21434 and NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts?
ISO/SAE 21434 has 50 controls across its framework, while NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 10 overlapping controls (20% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in TARA, where 5 ISO/SAE 21434 controls have no direct NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO/SAE 21434 and NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts?
Of 50 total ISO/SAE 21434 controls, 10 map directly to NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts controls, representing 20% coverage. The remaining 40 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO/SAE 21434 to NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts?
40 ISO/SAE 21434 controls have no direct equivalent in NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts. The highest concentration of gaps is in TARA 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/SAE 21434 and NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts?
The domain with the highest gap count is TARA (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
