What are the key differences between OWASP MASVS and NIST SP 800-88?

OWASP MASVS has 8 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-88 covers 8 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 7 overlapping controls (88% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Platform Interaction, where 1 OWASP MASVS controls have no direct NIST SP 800-88 equivalent.

How many controls map between OWASP MASVS and NIST SP 800-88?

Of 8 total OWASP MASVS controls, 7 map directly to NIST SP 800-88 controls — representing 88% coverage. The remaining 1 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping OWASP MASVS to NIST SP 800-88?

1 OWASP MASVS controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-88. The highest concentration of gaps is in Platform Interaction with 1 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 OWASP MASVS and NIST SP 800-88?

The domain with the highest gap count is Platform Interaction (1 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
