What are the key differences between ISO 27018 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

ISO 27018 has 45 controls across its framework, while SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) covers 67 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 8 overlapping controls (18% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in PII Principles, where 9 ISO 27018 controls have no direct SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) equivalent.

How many controls map between ISO 27018 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

Of 45 total ISO 27018 controls, 8 map directly to SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) controls — representing 18% coverage. The remaining 37 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27018 to SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

37 ISO 27018 controls have no direct equivalent in SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting). The highest concentration of gaps is in PII Principles with 9 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 27018 and SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting)?

The domain with the highest gap count is PII Principles (9 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
