Framework overlap

Does NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 cover PDPA Singapore?

You hold NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and have been told to do PDPA Singapore. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

88% of PDPA Singapore you already have

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 already covers about 88% of PDPA Singapore, leaving 1 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 3 Likely covered 4 New work 1

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 reaches these. This is the list to scope.

PDPASG-7
Retention Limitation, Do Not Call, Compliance, Complaints
Show the 7 you already have
PDPASG-4
Children's Data, DPIA, and Privacy by Design
PDPASG-5
Protection, Accuracy, and Security of Personal Data
PDPASG-8
Data Breach Notification, Incident Response, and Enforcement
PDPASG-1
Accountability, Records, DPO Appointment, and Training
PDPASG-2
Notification, Consent, Purpose Limitation, and Lawful Basis
PDPASG-3
Access, Correction, Data Portability, and Individual Rights
PDPASG-6
Transfer Limitation, Cross-Border Safeguards, and Data Intermediary Oversight

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 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.
