NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3ISO 27002:2022

NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 57% of ISO 27002:2022

53 of the 93 controls in ISO 27002:2022 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 40 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 ISO 27002:2022 your NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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.

134 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.

Policies for information security

Requires documented, disseminated, periodically reviewed security policy and procedures for every requirement family.

03.15.035.10argued against and upheld

03.01.025.15argued against and upheld

03.05.055.16argued against and upheld
Identity management

Identifier management covers authorisation, assignment, and reuse prevention across the identity life cycle.

03.01.015.16argued against and upheld
Identity management

Account management covers creation, modification, disabling and removal across the account life cycle.

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.
