Coverage crosswalk

A NIST SP 800-187 to 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) crosswalk, built to order

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) controls your existing NIST SP 800-187 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

NIST SP 800-187 into 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501)
Not published yet

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 gap, with what it requires
  • Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 22% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-187 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) 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 800-187 and 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501)?

NIST SP 800-187 has 32 controls across its framework, while 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) covers 43 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (22% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in NIST SP 800-187: Access Control, where 5 NIST SP 800-187 controls have no direct 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-187 and 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501)?

Of 32 total NIST SP 800-187 controls, 7 map directly to 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501) controls, representing 22% coverage. The remaining 25 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-187 to 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501)?

25 NIST SP 800-187 controls have no direct equivalent in 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501). The highest concentration of gaps is in NIST SP 800-187: Access Control with 5 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 800-187 and 3GPP 5G Security Architecture (TS 33.501)?

The domain with the highest gap count is NIST SP 800-187: Access Control (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
