Tailoring is the intentional modification of security control baselines to align with an organization's specific mission, business needs, and operational environment. This includes scoping (removing inapplicable controls), identifying compensating controls for unmet requirements, and defining specific parameters within controls to ensure their relevance and applicability.

Guidance refers to advice or instruction on how to perform a task, not the process of modifying a control baseline itself.

Feature refers to a distinct characteristic or capability of a system or control, not a process of adjustment.

Scoping is only one aspect of tailoring, specifically the part where inapplicable controls are removed; it does not encompass compensating controls or parameter definition.
