Framework overlap

Does FFIEC IT Examination Handbook cover IAEA Nuclear Security Series?

You hold FFIEC IT Examination Handbook and have been told to do IAEA Nuclear Security Series. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

73% of IAEA Nuclear Security Series you already have

FFIEC IT Examination Handbook already covers about 73% of IAEA Nuclear Security Series, leaving 3 of 11 controls as genuinely new work.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in FFIEC IT Examination Handbook 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.
