CMMC vs NIS2

CMMC Level 2  ·  NIS2 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690  ·  data 2026-10-27

Requirement-level comparison of CMMC Level 2 and NIS2 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, in both directions, derived from published crosswalks and ControlMapping's curated topics.

Have CMMC → need NIS2

49 reqs 40 mapped · 8 loosely related · 1 no mapping Open in gap view →

Of 49 NIS2 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 requirements, 40 map to something in CMMC, 8 are only loosely related, and 1 have no mapping in our data.

NIS2 here is the technical measures of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, which applies directly to digital-infrastructure and ICT-service providers; other NIS2 entities follow their country's transposition of Article 21. Incident reporting deadlines (Article 23) are not in scope. ENISA's mapping is non-binding.

Crosswalk a published crosswalk (NIST, ENISA, CIS, PCI SSC) makes the link · Editorial ControlMapping's judgement where no crosswalk exists; the reason is shown · Loosely related only shares a CSF 2.0 outcome: worth checking, not a mapping · No mapping in our data nothing mapped in our data; often new work, but check the coverage notes. Mapped = curated together in a ControlMapping topic, or linked directly. Crosswalks don't prove compliance. Methodology · Download the data · Report a mistake.
