ControlMap

ControlMap is a free, interactive tool that maps 49 cybersecurity controls across 9 major compliance frameworks: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, CIS v8, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, 800-53, HIPAA, GDPR. It helps security teams identify overlaps and gaps between frameworks.

ControlMap tracks 9 frameworks: NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (NIST CSF 2.0), ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (ISO 27001), CIS Controls v8 (CIS v8), SOC 2 Type II (SOC 2), PCI DSS v4.0 (PCI DSS), CMMC Level 2 (CMMC), NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 (800-53), HIPAA Security Rule (HIPAA), GDPR (GDPR). Each framework is mapped to a common set of 49 cybersecurity controls to show coverage and gaps.

ControlMap tracks 49 cybersecurity controls across 6 domains: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. Each control is mapped to the relevant requirements in all 9 frameworks.

A cybersecurity control is a safeguard or countermeasure designed to protect information systems, networks, and data from threats. Controls can be technical (like encryption or firewalls), administrative (like policies and training), or physical (like access badges). Frameworks organize these controls into categories and provide guidance on implementation.

Coverage refers to the percentage of the 49 tracked controls that a specific framework addresses. For example, if a framework maps to 45 of 49 controls, it has 92% coverage. Controls not covered represent potential gaps that organizations should address through other frameworks or custom policies.

Click any framework bar on the dashboard to pivot the view to that framework. Controls are grouped by the framework's own categories, and a "Not Covered" section appears at the bottom showing gaps. You can also export a CSV gap report using the Export button, or view the framework's dedicated page for a detailed gap analysis.

NIST CSF 2.0 is a risk-based cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, organized into 6 functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover). ISO 27001:2022 is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS) with Annex A controls. See our detailed comparison.

SOC 2 is an auditing framework evaluating security, availability, and confidentiality controls, commonly required for SaaS providers. PCI DSS v4.0 is specifically for organizations handling payment card data, with prescriptive requirements for cardholder data protection. See our detailed comparison.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is required for Department of Defense (DoD) contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC Level 2 aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and includes 110 practices across 14 domains. ControlMap maps CMMC Level 2 practices to the common control set.

Yes, ControlMap is completely free. The interactive dashboard, all control and framework pages, comparison tools, and CSV export are available at no cost.

ControlMap is updated when frameworks release new versions or when new controls are added to the mapping. The control data reflects the latest published versions of each framework.

Yes. The interactive dashboard has an "Export CSV" button that generates a gap report for the currently selected framework view. The CSV includes all controls with their mapping status across all 9 frameworks.
