What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and BSI IT-Grundschutz?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 192 controls across its framework, while BSI IT-Grundschutz covers 55 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 28 overlapping controls (15% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in PE - Physical and Environmental Protection, where 14 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct BSI IT-Grundschutz equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and BSI IT-Grundschutz?

Of 192 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 28 map directly to BSI IT-Grundschutz controls — representing 15% coverage. The remaining 164 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 to BSI IT-Grundschutz?

164 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in BSI IT-Grundschutz. The highest concentration of gaps is in PE - Physical and Environmental Protection with 14 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 800-53 Rev 5 and BSI IT-Grundschutz?

The domain with the highest gap count is PE - Physical and Environmental Protection (14 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
