What are the key differences between OWASP SAMM and NIST SP 800-92?

OWASP SAMM has 51 controls across its framework, while NIST SP 800-92 covers 59 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 16 overlapping controls (31% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Governance, where 5 OWASP SAMM controls have no direct NIST SP 800-92 equivalent.

How many controls map between OWASP SAMM and NIST SP 800-92?

Of 51 total OWASP SAMM controls, 16 map directly to NIST SP 800-92 controls — representing 31% coverage. The remaining 35 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping OWASP SAMM to NIST SP 800-92?

35 OWASP SAMM controls have no direct equivalent in NIST SP 800-92. The highest concentration of gaps is in Governance with 5 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 SAMM and NIST SP 800-92?

The domain with the highest gap count is Governance (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
