NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 covers 67.6% of ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents

25 of the 37 controls in ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. 12 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 ASD Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents your NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 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.

71 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.

Recovering Data and System Availability3 of 3 evidenced
Preventing Malicious Insiders1 of 1 evidenced
Detecting Cyber Security Incidents and Responding5 of 6 evidenced, 1 to do
Limiting the Extent of Cyber Security Incidents6 of 10 evidenced, 4 to do
Preventing Malware Delivery and Execution10 of 17 evidenced, 7 to do

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.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-05ASD37-01argued against and upheld
Application control (Essential)

Both prevent installation and execution of software that is not approved.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-02ASD37-02argued against and upheld
Patch applications (Essential)

Both require software maintained and patched commensurate with the risk carried.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-01ASD37-04argued against and upheld
User application hardening (Essential)

Both require configuration practice applied to reduce exposed application features.

NIST-CSF-PR.IR-01ASD37-08argued against and upheld
Deny direct internet connectivity (Excellent)

Both require the environment protected by controlling how it reaches external networks.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-01ASD37-10argued against and upheld
Server application hardening (Very Good)

Both require vendor hardening applied as established configuration practice.

NIST-CSF-PR.PS-01ASD37-11argued against and upheld
Operating system hardening (Very Good)

Both require operating system configuration hardened and applied consistently.

NIST-CSF-DE.CM-09ASD37-12argued against and upheld
Antivirus software with heuristics (Very Good)

Both require software and runtime activity monitored to find adverse events.

NIST-CSF-PR.AT-01ASD37-15argued against and upheld
User education (Limited)

Both require personnel given awareness of threats and reporting expectations.

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.
