Coverage crosswalk

A NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook crosswalk, built to order

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which FFIEC IT Examination Handbook controls your existing NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

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.

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 62% in the header counts how many NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many FFIEC IT Examination Handbook 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 Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?

NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) has 8 controls across its framework, while FFIEC IT Examination Handbook covers 78 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 5 overlapping controls (62% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Crypto-Agility, where 1 NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) controls have no direct FFIEC IT Examination Handbook equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?

Of 8 total NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) controls, 5 map directly to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook controls, representing 62% coverage. The remaining 3 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?

3 NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) controls have no direct equivalent in FFIEC IT Examination Handbook. The highest concentration of gaps is in Crypto-Agility with 1 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 Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?

The domain with the highest gap count is Crypto-Agility (1 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
