For the last two weeks I have been in search of a mapping/crosswalk between Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) and North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) and have found little luck.
NAICS: https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2017
GICS: https://www.msci.com/gics
This is something I feel like should exists as there is plenty of GICS/NAICS classified data researchers would like to relate.
Does anyone know of such a mapping/crosswalk or a reason why this could never be done?

NAICS codes are comparable across Canada, the US, and Mexico at the 5 digit code level. Note: unique national industries will have a 6 digit code. The latest version is NAICS Canada 1.0 (release in 2022).
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes are an older classification system that is used by the Security and Exchange Commission. SIC codes can be searched here. Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) is a system designed for the needs of the investment community.
The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) is a method for assigning companies to a specific economic sector and industry group that best defines its business operations. It is one of two rival systems that are used by investors, analysts, and economists to compare competing companies.
To identify the NAICS Code being used for a specific company, visit the US Company Lookup Tool by NAICS.com. To identify the proper code for your company, use the NAICS SEARCH TOOLS to identify the code that best reflects your primary business activity (revenue producing activity.)
GICS values are actually market data sold by Standard and Poors. Since S&P created and owns the mapping, you have to pay for the information. Many investment banks provide the GICS data but they have a license from S&P. That's why there isn't a public utility to lookup/map to other codes.
