NIST SP 800-218 covers 7.2% of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
7 of the 97 controls in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-218. 90 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.
What this leaves you to do
NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 has 97 controls. Holding NIST SP 800-218 already evidences 7 of them, so the work in front of you is 90 controls, not 97, which is 93% of the standard rather than all of it.
That is the whole claim. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.
In money, using only our numbers. The full report is $299 and names 7 controls of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 you do not have to implement again, which is $42.71 per control identified. That arithmetic uses our price and our count and assumes nothing about you.
In your hours, using your assumption. We do not know what a control costs you to implement, so pick the column that looks like your organisation. These are your figures, not our claim.
| If a control takes you | 4 hours | 8 hours | 16 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| the 7 already evidenced are | 28 hours | 56 hours | 112 hours |
| and the 90 remaining are | 360 hours | 720 hours | 1,440 hours |
Multiply by your own rate. We publish no rate because we have not measured yours, and a number built on an invented rate is the kind of claim this platform exists to argue against.
This number is directional. It says how much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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.
30 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.
Reviewing changed source for vulnerabilities is explicit consideration of security when approving a change.
Only authorized contributors changing code, with review and logging, is configuration change control.
Release criteria tied to risk make the approve or disapprove decision explicit.
Testing scope tied to feature changes tests changes before they reach deployment.
Analysing changed code against secure coding standards is security impact analysis before implementation.
Scoped, executed and documented testing validates and documents changes before deployment.
Ongoing identification of vulnerabilities in released software with severity confirmed is vulnerability monitoring.
Dynamic, fuzz and penetration testing detects vulnerabilities in the software on a defined cadence.
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.
