APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management vs NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
What is the difference between APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management is a risk management framework applying in Australia, with 43 controls across 11 domains. NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 is a information security framework applying in the United States, with 106 controls across 12 domains. They govern different subjects, so the overlap is limited to the governance requirements they share. The mapping below shows where that is.
Measured coverage between these frameworks
We map controls between these two frameworks in a knowledge graph and have a person review every mapping before it is published. Below is what that review found. The figures are read live from the graph, not written by hand.
