NIST CSF Mapper
Map NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls to CIS Controls v8, ISO 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria

What NIST CSF Mapper does
The NIST CSF Mapper on Inventive HQ translates NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls into equivalent requirements for CIS Controls v8, ISO 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. Users enter specific control requirements and receive a side-by-side comparison that reveals how their security measures align across these major standards. The output is designed to simplify compliance mapping for organizations navigating multiple regulatory or best-practice frameworks simultaneously.

NIST CSF Mapper FAQ
- Can the tool map controls from frameworks other than NIST CSF 2.0?
- No, the mapper is designed specifically for NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 controls and translates them into CIS, ISO, and SOC 2 equivalents.
- Is the mapping between frameworks exact or approximate?
- The mappings are estimates based on established equivalencies between control families; they provide a helpful guide but should not replace a detailed compliance review.
- Do I need to create an account to use the NIST CSF Mapper?
- The material does not specify whether an account is required; check the Inventive HQ site for access requirements.
- Can I export the mapping results for my documentation?
- The material does not mention export functionality; look on the Inventive HQ interface for options to save or share your results.
