How this pairing is derived
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 is the pivot this whole dataset is built on: every framework in it is mapped to NIST SP 800-53, which is what makes the other pairings on this site derivable at all. This page is the one case where nothing is derived. It lists the authored GDPR to NIST SP 800-53 mapping itself, one row per NIST control, so the relationship on each row is the mapping the source states rather than an intersection inferred from two of them.

Source and method
Derived from the Top Floor framework mapping dataset: 4,123 cross-framework control mappings across 19 frameworks, every one pivoted through NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5.
Cross-framework mappings on this page are derived from the 2026.2 release of the Secure Controls Framework, used under CC BY-ND 4.0.
Mappings are illustrative aids for planning and are not a substitute for the official text of any framework or for an assessor’s judgment. Always verify control requirements against the authoritative publication. Where no official crosswalk exists, the mapping judgment is our own analysis.
