APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management covers 14.4% of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
14 of the 97 controls in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management. 83 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.
What this leaves you to do
NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 has 97 controls. Holding APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management already evidences 14 of them, so the work in front of you is 83 controls, not 97, which is 86% of the standard rather than all of it.
That is the whole claim. We do not know your hourly rate, how long a control takes you, or how many people you have, so there is no figure here in dollars or weeks. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.
This number is directional. It says how much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 your APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.
28 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.
Where the gaps are
Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.
Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.
Claims that held
A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.
Incidents and near misses must be identified, escalated, recorded and addressed promptly.
Material operational risk incidents must be notified to APRA within 72 hours.
Incidents must be recorded and fed into the operational risk profile.
A systematic testing programme validates response capability against severe scenarios.
A defined escalation and handling process for incidents must be maintained.
Operational risks from processes, systems, people and external events must be assessed.
Material weaknesses must be remediated with root causes addressed promptly.
Internal controls mitigating operational risk in line with appetite must be embedded.
Claims that did not hold
Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
