Coverage crosswalk

The NIS2 Directive to APRA CPS 234 crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which APRA CPS 234 controls your existing NIS2 Directive work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

Coverage does not run both ways. NIS2 Directive into APRA CPS 234 lands at 75%, while APRA CPS 234 into NIS2 Directive lands at 35.7%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your NIS2 Directive evidence buys you for APRA CPS 234, the other asks the reverse.

18 of 24 APRA CPS 234 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIS2 Directive. 6 are genuine gaps.

Machine verified. Claude Code on the Max plan, judged in context, signed off 2026-08-20. 41 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed by a pass whose job was to argue against them.Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.

A sample of what the report says

Evidenced: CPS 234 para 13 Board Responsibility for Information Security

Approval of the measures sits with the management body itself, which stays liable for them.

Grounded in nis2-directive::Art.20.1 Management body approves the cybersecurity risk-management measures and oversees their implementation. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.

Gap: CPS 234 para 14 Definition of Information Security Roles and Responsibilities

Information security roles and responsibilities must be clearly defined for the Board, senior management, governing bodies and individuals holding decision making, approval, oversight or operational duties.

Every one of the 18 evidenced controls and 6 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

  • Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
  • Every gap, with what it requires
  • Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 71% in the header counts how many NIS2 Directive controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many APRA CPS 234 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.
