Framework overlap

Does ISO 27799 cover Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS)?

You hold ISO 27799 and have been told to do Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

83% of Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) you already have

ISO 27799 already covers about 83% of Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS), leaving 1 of 6 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 5 New work 1

No control in ISO 27799 maps directly to one in Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Everything counted as covered is covered because both map to the same third standard, which is what a crosswalk is, but it is an inference rather than a lookup.

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in ISO 27799 reaches these. This is the list to scope.

EHDSREG-2
Primary Use - Right to Restrict Access and Rectification

EHDSREG-1
Mandatory Requirements for EHR Systems (Articles 14-29)
EHDSREG-3
Secondary Use - Health Data for Research and Innovation
EHDSREG-4
Digital Health Authorities, Governance, MyHealth@EU
EHDSREG-5
Cross-Border Health Data Flows
EHDSREG-6
Phased Application and Enforcement

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in ISO 27799 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.
