NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 35.7% of NIS2 Directive
10 of the 28 controls in NIS2 Directive are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 18 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 NIS2 Directive 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.
48 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-20, 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.
The system security plan records how each security requirement is implemented and why.
Organisation-level policy and procedures for every requirement family, reviewed on frequency, is the policy limb.
Risk assessment updated on frequency and on significant change is the risk analysis limb.
A maintained incident response plan sets the roles and escalation path behind the capability.
Response testing is the evidence the capability functions rather than exists on paper.
An incident handling capability covering the full response cycle is what this point requires.
A supply chain risk plan across development, acquisition, maintenance and disposal is the programme limb.
External service providers must meet security requirements under documented oversight and monitoring.
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.
The full report
Everything above is a sample. The report is every evidenced control and every gap, with the reasoning and the source document behind each one, in a form you can hand to an assessor. $299, emailed immediately.
