Framework overlap

Does PCI PIN Security cover NIST SP 800-123?

You hold PCI PIN Security and have been told to do NIST SP 800-123. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

63% of NIST SP 800-123 you already have

PCI PIN Security already covers about 63% of NIST SP 800-123, leaving 3 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 5 New work 3

No control in PCI PIN Security maps directly to one in NIST SP 800-123. 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 PCI PIN Security reaches these. This is the list to scope.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in PCI PIN Security 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.
