What is the difference between ISO 27002:2022 and CIS Controls v8?
ISO 27002:2022 is a information security framework applying in International, with 94 controls across 7 domains. CIS Controls v8 is a other framework applying in International, with 153 controls across 18 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.
