What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-37 and ISO 27005?
NIST SP 800-37 has 8 controls across its framework, while ISO 27005 covers 26 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 4 overlapping controls (50% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Cross-Cutting Roles and Functions, where 1 NIST SP 800-37 controls have no direct ISO 27005 equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-37 and ISO 27005?
Of 8 total NIST SP 800-37 controls, 4 map directly to ISO 27005 controls — representing 50% coverage. The remaining 4 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-37 to ISO 27005?
4 NIST SP 800-37 controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27005. The highest concentration of gaps is in Cross-Cutting Roles and Functions with 1 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 800-37 and ISO 27005?
