ESG Essentials ↔ NIST SP 800-53

4 canonical controls in Keel's library satisfy clauses of both ESG Essentials 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.

Why this is one project, not two

On a crosswalk-native model, NIST SP 800-53 mostly lights up controls you already built for ESG Essentials. 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.
