NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0vsISO 27701:2019
See exactly how NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls map to ISO 27701:2019. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which ISO 27701:2019 controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 maps to ISO 27701:2019 with 85% coverage across 94 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 106 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls identifies 12 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in RC - Recover.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 to ISO 27701:2019 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 27701:2019 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.
51 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 57 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Both require the organization to determine its role and operating context.
Grounded in NIST-CSF-GV.OC-01 Organizational context for cybersecurity risk management is understood. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Every requirement of ISO/IEC 27001 that speaks of information security must be read as extending to the protection of privacy as it may be affected by the processing of personally identifiable information, so the management system is...
Every one of the 51 evidenced controls and 57 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
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 85% 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 ISO 27701:2019 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 ISO 27701:2019?
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 has 106 controls across its framework, while ISO 27701:2019 covers 145 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 94 overlapping controls (85% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in RC - Recover, where 5 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls have no direct ISO 27701:2019 equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and ISO 27701:2019?
Of 106 total NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls, 94 map directly to ISO 27701:2019 controls, representing 85% coverage. The remaining 12 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 ISO 27701:2019?
12 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27701:2019. The highest concentration of gaps is in RC - Recover 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 NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and ISO 27701:2019?
The domain with the highest gap count is RC - Recover (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
