  • CIS-2.1 Establish and Maintain a Software Inventory

ISO 27002:2022 · 1 control

  • 5.9 Inventory of information and other associated assets

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 · 1 control

  • NIST-CSF-ID.AM-02 Inventories of software, services, and systems managed by the organization are maintained

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
