ISO 27701:2019vsSOC 2
See exactly how ISO 27701:2019 controls map to SOC 2. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which SOC 2 controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
ISO 27701:2019 maps to SOC 2 with 97% coverage across 134 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls identifies 11 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in General, ISO 27701:2019.

The ISO 27701:2019 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 ISO 27701:2019 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. ISO 27701:2019 into SOC 2 lands at 24.6%, while SOC 2 into ISO 27701:2019 lands at 53.7%, 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 ISO 27701:2019 evidence buys you for SOC 2, the other asks the reverse.
15 of 61 SOC 2 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO 27701:2019. 46 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Documents notice content and timing, and requires update whenever purposes change.
Grounded in iso-27701-2019::7.3.2 Determining information for PII principals. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Maintains, monitors, and evaluates current processing capacity and use of system components (infrastructure, data, and software) to manage capacity demand and to enable the implementation of additional capacity to help meet its objectives
Every one of the 15 evidenced controls and 46 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
58 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for SOC 2. 50 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Established structures, reporting lines and authorities are assigned privacy roles and responsibilities.
Grounded in SOC2-CC1.3 COSO principle 3: Management establishes structures, reporting lines, and authorities. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Every requirement of ISO/IEC 27001 that speaks of information security must be read as extending to the protection of privacy as it may be affected by the processing of personally identifiable information, so the management system is...
Every one of the 58 evidenced controls and 50 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- 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 97% in the header counts how many ISO 27701:2019 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 ISO 27701:2019 and SOC 2?
ISO 27701:2019 has 108 controls across its framework, while SOC 2 covers 61 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 134 overlapping controls (97% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in General, ISO 27701:2019, where 4 ISO 27701:2019 controls have no direct SOC 2 equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO 27701:2019 and SOC 2?
Of 108 total ISO 27701:2019 controls, 134 map directly to SOC 2 controls, representing 97% coverage. The remaining 11 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO 27701:2019 to SOC 2?
11 ISO 27701:2019 controls have no direct equivalent in SOC 2. The highest concentration of gaps is in General, ISO 27701:2019 with 4 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 27701:2019 and SOC 2?
The domain with the highest gap count is General, ISO 27701:2019 (4 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
