08-02 Control mapping (NIST 800-53 vs ISO 17799 vs COBIT 4.1)

Mapping from OSA controls catalog (equivalent to NIST 800-53 rev 2) to ISO17799 and COBIT 4.1 (please note ISO and COBIT control catalogs are the property of their respective owners and cannot be used unless licensed, we therefore do not provide any further details of controls beyond the mapping on this site). Warning- there is not an exact correspondence between the catalogs, as the focus of the materials varies as does the level of granularity on specific topics. We have elected to include partial matches, where wording may vary but semantic intent is similar.

A map against ISO27000 series will be added soon. Drop us a mail if you have feedback or have a need for other mappings.
