The NIS2 Directive to ISO 27002:2022 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 27002:2022 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 ISO 27002:2022 lands at 24.7%, while ISO 27002:2022 into NIS2 Directive lands at 42.9%, 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 ISO 27002:2022, the other asks the reverse.
23 of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIS2 Directive. 70 are genuine gaps.
12 of 28 NIS2 Directive controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO 27002:2022. 16 are genuine gaps.
- 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 96% 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 ISO 27002:2022 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.
