NIST SP 800-218NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

NIST SP 800-218 covers 9.4% of NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

10 of the 106 controls in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-218. 96 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 Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 your NIST SP 800-218 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.

39 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.

SP800-218-PO.1.3NIST-CSF-GV.SC-05argued against and upheld
Requirements are established and managed for suppliers

Communicating software security requirements to third party providers establishes supplier requirements.

SP800-218-PW.4.4NIST-CSF-GV.SC-06argued against and upheld
Planning and due diligence are performed to reduce supply chain risks

Verifying acquired components against security requirements before use is technical due diligence.

SP800-218-PW.4.1NIST-CSF-GV.SC-06argued against and upheld
Planning and due diligence are performed to reduce supply chain risks

Verifying component provenance before acquiring it reduces supply chain risk at selection.

SP800-218-PS.3.2NIST-CSF-GV.SC-09argued against and upheld
Supply chain security practices are integrated into security program

An SBOM per release, used internally to triage component vulnerabilities, embeds supply chain practice.

SP800-218-PW.7.2NIST-CSF-ID.IM-01argued against and upheld
Improvements are identified from security test and exercise results

Recording and triaging code analysis findings identifies improvements from testing.

SP800-218-PW.8.2NIST-CSF-ID.IM-01argued against and upheld
Improvements are identified from security test and exercise results

Recording and triaging issues from documented security testing turns test results into improvements.

SP800-218-RV.3.3NIST-CSF-ID.IM-03argued against and upheld
Improvements are identified from operational activities and incidents

Reviewing and updating the development process so root causes do not recur is improvement from operations.

SP800-218-RV.3.4NIST-CSF-ID.IM-03argued against and upheld
Improvements are identified from operational activities and incidents

Documenting and sharing lessons learned from response activity identifies organisational improvements.

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.
