Crosswalk pair
ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST SP 800-53, control by control
1 canonical control in Keel’s library satisfies clauses of both ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST SP 800-53. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
The overlap
What the two libraries have in common
Every figure here counts canonical controls in Keel’s library, not clauses of either standard. Each standard’s own authored count is on its framework page.
1
Controls that satisfy both
Canonical controls that crosswalk to at least one clause of each.
16
In Keel’s library for ISO/IEC 42001
6% of them also map to NIST SP 800-53.
28
In Keel’s library for NIST SP 800-53
4% of them also map to ISO/IEC 42001.

Evidence artifacts expected
Across the shared controls, from Keel’s evidence guidance. Gathered once.
-
1 control of 16 in Keel’s library for ISO/IEC 42001 also maps to NIST SP 800-53.
-
1 control of 28 in Keel’s library for NIST SP 800-53 also maps to ISO/IEC 42001.
The mapping
Controls that satisfy both
Each row is one control in Keel’s library and the clauses it answers on each side. Do the work once; both columns are then evidenced by the same artifacts.
| Canonical control | ISO/IEC 42001 clauses | NIST SP 800-53 clauses |
|---|---|---|
| Internal audit program A risk-based internal audit program evaluates conformity and effectiveness at planned intervals, and again when an environmental or operational change could have undermined what was last evaluated; each evaluation covers both technical testing and non-technical review of whether the documented policies and procedures are actually being met. The programme itself is written down - how often audits run, what methods they use, who is responsible for them, what each one covers and how it reports - and nobody audits their own work, so a finding is an independent judgement rather than a self-assessment. The results of each audit go to the management responsible for the area audited, and the programme and its results are retained as evidence that it ran. | 9.2 | CA-2 |
Beyond the pair
Where else this work counts
A framework is lit when a shared control above also maps to it. Unlit means none of them do — an absence, not a judgment about that standard.

The thesis
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, NIST SP 800-53 mostly lights up controls you already built for ISO/IEC 42001. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
Next step
Add NIST SP 800-53 to the work you already did
Apply both frameworks in one workspace and see the overlap measured against the controls you already hold.
