What are the key differences between ISO 27005 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

ISO 27005 has 40 controls across its framework, while SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) covers 67 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 6 overlapping controls (15% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Risk Assessment, where 8 ISO 27005 controls have no direct SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27005 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

Of 40 total ISO 27005 controls, 6 map directly to SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) controls — representing 15% coverage. The remaining 34 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27005 to SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

34 ISO 27005 controls have no direct equivalent in SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting). The highest concentration of gaps is in Risk Assessment with 8 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 ISO 27005 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

The domain with the highest gap count is Risk Assessment (8 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
