What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and NIST SP 800-187?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 192 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-187 covers 32 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 10 overlapping controls (5% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in AC - Access Control, where 15 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct NIST SP 800-187 equivalent.

How many controls map between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and NIST SP 800-187?

Of 192 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 10 map directly to NIST SP 800-187 controls — representing 5% coverage. The remaining 182 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 NIST SP 800-187?

182 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-187. The highest concentration of gaps is in AC - Access Control with 15 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 NIST SP 800-187?

The domain with the highest gap count is AC - Access Control (15 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
