Coverage crosswalk

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 to DORA crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which DORA controls your existing NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 into DORA
50%

13 of 26 DORA controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 13 are genuine gaps.

Machine verified. Claude Code on the Max plan, judged in context, signed off 2026-08-20. 76 candidate mappings were examined and 2 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: DORA-Art.10 Detection

Networks and network services monitored to find adverse events covers network performance detection.

Grounded in NIST-CSF-DE.CM-01 Networks and network services are monitored to find potentially adverse events. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.

Gap: DORA-Art.16 Simplified ICT risk management framework

Specified smaller and non-interconnected financial entities are subject to a simplified ICT risk management framework with proportionate requirements (sound systems, monitoring, business continuity, incident handling and testing).

Every one of the 13 evidenced controls and 13 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.

DORA into NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
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.

  • 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 58% in the header counts how many NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many DORA 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 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and DORA?

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 has 106 controls across its framework, while DORA covers 26 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 61 overlapping controls (58% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in PR - Protect, where 12 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls have no direct DORA equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and DORA?

Of 106 total NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls, 61 map directly to DORA controls, representing 58% coverage. The remaining 45 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 to DORA?

45 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls have no direct equivalent in DORA. The highest concentration of gaps is in PR - Protect with 12 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 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and DORA?

The domain with the highest gap count is PR - Protect (12 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
