NIST CSF Mapper

This tool maps NIST CSF 2.0 controls to three major compliance frameworks: CIS Controls v8, ISO 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. This cross-mapping helps organizations understand how implementing NIST CSF controls can simultaneously satisfy requirements from multiple standards, reducing compliance overhead.

The six NIST CSF 2.0 functions are: Govern (establishing cybersecurity governance and risk management), Identify (understanding your organization and risk context), Protect (implementing safeguards), Detect (discovering cybersecurity events), Respond (taking action on detected incidents), and Recover (restoring capabilities after incidents). Each function contains categories and subcategories of specific controls.

You can search for controls by typing keywords in the search box, which filters across control IDs, names, and descriptions. You can also filter by NIST CSF function using the dropdown menu, or filter by mapped framework to see only controls that map to CIS, ISO 27001, or SOC 2. Combining search and filters helps you quickly locate relevant controls.

Yes, you can export all visible controls to a CSV file by clicking the Export to CSV button. The export includes the NIST CSF control ID, function, category, subcategory name, and all corresponding mappings to CIS Controls, ISO 27001 clauses, and SOC 2 criteria. This is useful for compliance documentation and gap analysis.

CIS Controls v8 provides specific, prioritized security actions organized into 18 control families, while NIST CSF offers a broader risk management framework organized around functions and outcomes. CIS Controls are more prescriptive and technical, whereas NIST CSF is more flexible and outcome-focused. Many organizations use both together, with NIST CSF for strategy and CIS Controls for implementation.

This tool helps you demonstrate how your NIST CSF implementation addresses requirements from other frameworks during audits. By showing the mappings between controls, you can provide auditors with evidence that implementing a NIST CSF control also satisfies corresponding ISO 27001 or SOC 2 requirements. This reduces redundant documentation and testing efforts.
