What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and PTES?

NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) has 32 controls across its framework, while PTES covers 7 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 19 overlapping controls (59% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Configuration and Identification Assessment, where 4 NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) controls have no direct PTES equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and PTES?

Of 32 total NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) controls, 19 map directly to PTES controls — representing 59% coverage. The remaining 13 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to PTES?

13 NIST SP 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) controls have no direct equivalent in PTES. The highest concentration of gaps is in Configuration and Identification Assessment 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 800-171A - Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and PTES?
