NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5vsPSD2 SCA
See exactly how NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls map to PSD2 SCA. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
Need this as a report you can hand to an assessor? A coverage crosswalk for this pair can be built to order.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 maps to PSD2 SCA with 5% coverage across 14 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 300 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls identifies 306 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in SC - System and Communications Protection.

A NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 to PSD2 SCA crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which PSD2 SCA controls your existing NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 5% in the header counts how many NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many PSD2 SCA controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and PSD2 SCA?
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 has 300 controls across its framework, while PSD2 SCA covers 28 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 14 overlapping controls (5% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SC - System and Communications Protection, where 45 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct PSD2 SCA equivalent.
How many controls map between NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and PSD2 SCA?
Of 300 total NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls, 14 map directly to PSD2 SCA controls, representing 5% coverage. The remaining 306 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 PSD2 SCA?
306 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls have no direct equivalent in PSD2 SCA. The highest concentration of gaps is in SC - System and Communications Protection with 45 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 PSD2 SCA?
The domain with the highest gap count is SC - System and Communications Protection (45 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
