Coverage crosswalk

The APRA CPS 234 to SOC 2 crosswalk

The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which SOC 2 controls your existing APRA CPS 234 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.

Coverage does not run both ways. APRA CPS 234 into SOC 2 lands at 27.9%, while SOC 2 into APRA CPS 234 lands at 75%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your APRA CPS 234 evidence buys you for SOC 2, the other asks the reverse.

APRA CPS 234 into SOC 2
27.9%

17 of 61 SOC 2 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APRA CPS 234. 44 are genuine gaps.

SOC 2 into APRA CPS 234
75%

18 of 24 APRA CPS 234 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for SOC 2. 6 are genuine gaps.

per framework pair, one time
  • Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
  • Every gap, with what it requires
  • Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number

Why this page shows two different percentages. The 100% in the header counts how many APRA CPS 234 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many SOC 2 controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.

A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.

What are the key differences between APRA CPS 234 and SOC 2?

APRA CPS 234 has 24 controls across its framework, while SOC 2 covers 61 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 24 overlapping controls (100% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Third Party Arrangements, where 0 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct SOC 2 equivalent.

How many controls map between APRA CPS 234 and SOC 2?

Of 24 total APRA CPS 234 controls, 24 map directly to SOC 2 controls, representing 100% coverage. The remaining 0 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping APRA CPS 234 to SOC 2?

0 APRA CPS 234 controls have no direct equivalent in SOC 2. The highest concentration of gaps is in Third Party Arrangements with 0 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.

Which control domains have the most gaps between APRA CPS 234 and SOC 2?

The domain with the highest gap count is Third Party Arrangements (0 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
