Framework overlap

Does NIST SP 800-171A cover New Jersey Data Privacy Act?

You hold NIST SP 800-171A and have been told to do New Jersey Data Privacy Act. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

63% of New Jersey Data Privacy Act you already have

NIST SP 800-171A already covers about 63% of New Jersey Data Privacy Act, leaving 3 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in NIST SP 800-171A reaches these. This is the list to scope.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in NIST SP 800-171A 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.
