What is the Compare feature, and how does it work?

The Compare feature lets you analyze the differences between two Lists of Authority Documents or Insight Packs (IIPs) side by side. It's ideal for:

• Comparing regulatory frameworks across countries or industries

• Reviewing changes between framework versions (e.g., NIST 800-53 Rev. 4 vs Rev. 5)

• Evaluating what’s gained or lost between two document sets

How to use it:

1. Navigate to the Compare tab.

2. Select two existing Lists to compare.

3. ControlSight will highlight:

   • New mandates

   • Removed mandates

   • Changed mandates or controls

4. You can drill down into:

   • Mandates

   • Matched Common Controls

   • Citations (with licensing visibility)
