APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk ManagementNIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management covers 11% of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

33 of the 300 controls in NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management. 267 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.

This number is directional. It says how much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 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.

50 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.

CPS 230 para 30NIST800-CA-2argued against and upheld
Control assessments

Controls must be monitored, reviewed and tested for design and operating effectiveness.

CPS 230 para 31NIST800-CA-5argued against and upheld
Plan of action and milestones

Weaknesses must be remediated with clear accountabilities and root causes addressed.

CPS 230 para 30NIST800-CA-7argued against and upheld
Continuous monitoring

Monitoring and testing frequency is proportionate to the materiality of the risks.

CPS 230 para 26NIST800-CM-4argued against and upheld
Impact analyses

New products, services, geographies and technologies must be assessed for risk impact.

CPS 230 para 22NIST800-CP-1argued against and upheld
Policy and procedures for contingency planning

The Board must approve the business continuity plan and the tolerance levels.

CPS 230 para 34NIST800-CP-1argued against and upheld
Policy and procedures for contingency planning

A credible business continuity plan must be maintained for critical operations.

CPS 230 para 14NIST800-CP-10argued against and upheld
System recovery and reconstitution

The entity must return to normal operations promptly once disruption is over.

CPS 230 para 40NIST800-CP-2argued against and upheld
Contingency plan

Required plan content covers the register, tolerances, triggers and response actions.

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.
