What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 192 controls across its framework, while CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance covers 16 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 17 overlapping controls (9% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SC - System and Communications Protection, where 16 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance?

Of 192 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 17 map directly to CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance controls — representing 9% coverage. The remaining 175 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 CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance?

175 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance. The highest concentration of gaps is in SC - System and Communications Protection with 16 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 CISA Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Guidance?

The domain with the highest gap count is SC - System and Communications Protection (16 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
