What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-137 and OWASP ASVS?

NIST SP 800-137 has 51 controls across its framework, while OWASP ASVS covers 49 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 18 overlapping controls (35% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Operational Process, where 8 NIST SP 800-137 controls have no direct OWASP ASVS equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-137 and OWASP ASVS?

Of 51 total NIST SP 800-137 controls, 18 map directly to OWASP ASVS controls — representing 35% coverage. The remaining 33 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-137 to OWASP ASVS?

33 NIST SP 800-137 controls have no direct equivalent in OWASP ASVS. The highest concentration of gaps is in Operational Process with 8 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 SP 800-137 and OWASP ASVS?

The domain with the highest gap count is Operational Process (8 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
