ISO 27701:2019 vs NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
What is the difference between ISO 27701:2019 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0?
ISO 27701:2019 is a information security framework applying in International, with 136 controls across 6 domains. NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 is a information security framework applying in the United States, with 106 controls across 12 domains. Both govern the same subject, so their requirements overlap; the mapping below shows which controls carry across and which are asked for by only one of them.
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.
Coverage is directional. Mapping A into B is a different measurement from B into A, because the two standards do not carry the same depth on the same subjects.
