What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-146 and ISO 27018?

NIST SP 800-146 has 8 controls across its framework, while ISO 27018 covers 45 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 4 overlapping controls (50% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Audit, Cost, and Continuous Improvement, where 1 NIST SP 800-146 controls have no direct ISO 27018 equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-146 and ISO 27018?

Of 8 total NIST SP 800-146 controls, 4 map directly to ISO 27018 controls — representing 50% coverage. The remaining 4 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-146 to ISO 27018?

4 NIST SP 800-146 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27018. The highest concentration of gaps is in Audit, Cost, and Continuous Improvement 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 800-146 and ISO 27018?

The domain with the highest gap count is Audit, Cost, and Continuous Improvement (1 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
