NIST CSF 2.0 to ISO27001:2022 Annex A (unofficial) mapping

There is no official mappings released by either NIST or ISO for their most popular publications: NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. So, I went through a circuitous route connecting the two via the older CSF 1.1 which had an ISO mapping.

The following file contains mapping between the NIST CSF 2.0 subcategories and the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls.

This is an “unofficial” mapping so use it as a reference, rather than a definitive source. Once either of the organization comes up with an official version, I plan to update this file. The mapping is also limited to the Annex A controls.

If you notice any errors or if you have ideas on how to map to the Clauses, please reach out to me. I am happy to include your suggestions.


While I was working on the file, a friend told me that another organization – Razil.io – already published mapping of the two documents. You can download their mapping sheet from the link below:
