What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-150 and MITRE D3FEND?

NIST SP 800-150 has 31 controls across its framework, while MITRE D3FEND covers 31 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 16 overlapping controls (52% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in NIST SP 800-150: Communications Security, where 4 NIST SP 800-150 controls have no direct MITRE D3FEND equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-150 and MITRE D3FEND?

Of 31 total NIST SP 800-150 controls, 16 map directly to MITRE D3FEND controls — representing 52% coverage. The remaining 15 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-150 to MITRE D3FEND?

15 NIST SP 800-150 controls have no direct equivalent in MITRE D3FEND. The highest concentration of gaps is in NIST SP 800-150: Communications Security with 4 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 800-150 and MITRE D3FEND?

The domain with the highest gap count is NIST SP 800-150: Communications Security (4 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
