Does NIST SP 800-190 cover Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)?

53% of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) you already have

NIST SP 800-190 already covers about 53% of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), leaving 7 of 15 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 8 New work 7

No control in NIST SP 800-190 maps directly to one in Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). 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 NIST SP 800-190 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.
