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

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 172 controls across its framework, while FedRAMP Rev 5 covers 64 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 34 overlapping controls (20% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SC - System and Communications Protection, where 14 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct FedRAMP Rev 5 equivalent.

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

Of 172 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 34 map directly to FedRAMP Rev 5 controls — representing 20% coverage. The remaining 138 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 FedRAMP Rev 5?

138 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in FedRAMP Rev 5. The highest concentration of gaps is in SC - System and Communications 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 FedRAMP Rev 5?

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