What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-207?

NIST SP 800-171 has 94 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-207 covers 51 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 9 overlapping controls (10% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Access Control Assessment, where 6 NIST SP 800-171 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-207 equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-207?

Of 94 total NIST SP 800-171 controls, 9 map directly to NIST SP 800-207 controls — representing 10% coverage. The remaining 85 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-171 to NIST SP 800-207?

85 NIST SP 800-171 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-207. The highest concentration of gaps is in Access Control Assessment with 6 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 800-171 and NIST SP 800-207?

The domain with the highest gap count is Access Control Assessment (6 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
