Framework overlap

Does BSI IT-Grundschutz cover UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation)?

You hold BSI IT-Grundschutz and have been told to do UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation). Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

50% of UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation) you already have

BSI IT-Grundschutz already covers about 50% of UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation), leaving 3 of 6 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 1 Likely covered 2 New work 3

What is genuinely new work

Transfers and DPO (Articles 44-50)
UKGDPRREG-5
Supervisory Authorities (Articles 51-59)
UKGDPRREG-6

UKGDPRREG-1

UKGDPRREG-2
Data Subject Rights (Articles 12-22)

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in BSI IT-Grundschutz to that control. Likely covered means no direct mapping exists but both frameworks map to the same control in a third standard. New work means neither. We keep those separate rather than adding them into one friendlier number, because blending them would present a two-hop inference as a verified fact.

Coverage is not symmetric. Run it the other way and you will get a different number; both are correct.

From 332,959 cross-framework control mappings across 723 frameworks, 531 of them verified against their source documents. It does not tell you that you are compliant: a mapped control means the two standards ask for the same thing, not that you have done it.
