NIST SP 800-128
What is NIST SP 800-128?
Guide for Security-Focused Configuration Management. It comprises 39 controls organised across 7 domains, published by NIST, and applies in the United States.
How NIST SP 800-128 maps to other frameworks
All 39 controls, each one mapped to the equivalent requirement in other standards, with the evidence that carries across and the mappings that were judged and rejected shown alongside. No account needed to look.
See the control mappings →The 7 domains NIST SP 800-128 groups its controls into
Frameworks that share controls with NIST SP 800-128
Each of these has at least one control mapped to a control in NIST SP 800-128. The number is how many NIST SP 800-128 controls are shared, counted from the mapping graph.

Training on frameworks that overlap NIST SP 800-128
There is no course on NIST SP 800-128 itself. These cover frameworks that share controls with it, so the material carries across even though the standard named is different.
