What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-137 and PTES?
NIST SP 800-137 has 51 controls across its framework, while PTES covers 53 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 PTES equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-137 and PTES?
Of 51 total NIST SP 800-137 controls, 18 map directly to PTES 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 PTES?
33 NIST SP 800-137 controls have no direct equivalent in PTES. 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 PTES?
