What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-187 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

NIST SP 800-187 has 32 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 covers 192 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 15 overlapping controls (47% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Hardening, where 3 NIST SP 800-187 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-187 and NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

Of 32 total NIST SP 800-187 controls, 15 map directly to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls — representing 47% coverage. The remaining 17 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

17 NIST SP 800-187 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in Hardening with 3 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 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5?

The domain with the highest gap count is Hardening (3 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
