The NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 to ISO 27002:2022 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 27002:2022 controls your existing NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
33 of 93 ISO 27002:2022 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1. 60 are genuine gaps.
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 50% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many ISO 27002:2022 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 800-161 Rev 1 and ISO 27002:2022?
NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 has 191 controls across its framework, while ISO 27002:2022 covers 93 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 96 overlapping controls (50% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in C-SCRM Family: Program Management, where 22 NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 controls have no direct ISO 27002:2022 equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 and ISO 27002:2022?
Of 191 total NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 controls, 96 map directly to ISO 27002:2022 controls, representing 50% coverage. The remaining 95 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 to ISO 27002:2022?
95 NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27002:2022. The highest concentration of gaps is in C-SCRM Family: Program Management with 22 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 800-161 Rev 1 and ISO 27002:2022?
The domain with the highest gap count is C-SCRM Family: Program Management (22 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
