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

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 192 controls across its framework, while DORA covers 26 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (4% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SC - System and Communications Protection, where 17 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct DORA equivalent.

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

Of 192 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 7 map directly to DORA controls — representing 4% coverage. The remaining 185 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 DORA?

185 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in DORA. The highest concentration of gaps is in SC - System and Communications Protection with 17 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 DORA?

The domain with the highest gap count is SC - System and Communications Protection (17 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
