Framework overlap

Does NIS2 Directive cover ISO 31000:2018?

You hold NIS2 Directive and have been told to do ISO 31000:2018. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

29% of ISO 31000:2018 you already have

NIS2 Directive already covers about 29% of ISO 31000:2018, leaving 37 of 52 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 15 New work 37

No control in NIS2 Directive maps directly to one in ISO 31000:2018. 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.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in NIS2 Directive 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.
