NIST SP 800-144vsFFIEC IT Examination Handbook
See exactly how NIST SP 800-144 controls map to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
Need this as a report you can hand to an assessor? A coverage crosswalk for this pair can be built to order.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
NIST SP 800-144 maps to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook with 75% coverage across 6 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 8 NIST SP 800-144 controls identifies 2 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in Encryption and Keys.

A NIST SP 800-144 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 SP 800-144 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
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 75% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-144 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 SP 800-144 and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?
NIST SP 800-144 has 8 controls across its framework, while FFIEC IT Examination Handbook covers 426 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 6 overlapping controls (75% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Encryption and Keys, where 1 NIST SP 800-144 controls have no direct FFIEC IT Examination Handbook equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-144 and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?
Of 8 total NIST SP 800-144 controls, 6 map directly to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook controls, representing 75% coverage. The remaining 2 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-144 to FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?
2 NIST SP 800-144 controls have no direct equivalent in FFIEC IT Examination Handbook. The highest concentration of gaps is in Encryption and Keys 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 SP 800-144 and FFIEC IT Examination Handbook?
The domain with the highest gap count is Encryption and Keys (1 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
