A ISO/IEC 42001:2023 to SOC 2 crosswalk, built to order
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which SOC 2 controls your existing ISO/IEC 42001:2023 work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
This direction has not been through crosswalk review and sign off, so no coverage figure is published for it. Reporting an unreviewed number would be worse than reporting none. It can be built to order at the same price as a pair that is already on the shelf.
If the two frameworks turn out to have too little in common for a crosswalk to help you, we say so and refund it rather than send a number worth nothing.

- 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 79% in the header counts how many ISO/IEC 42001:2023 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/IEC 42001:2023 and SOC 2?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 has 38 controls across its framework, while SOC 2 covers 61 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 70 overlapping controls (79% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Clause 0 to 3 and informative annexes – ISO/IEC 42001:2023, where 5 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls have no direct SOC 2 equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and SOC 2?
Of 38 total ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls, 70 map directly to SOC 2 controls, representing 79% coverage. The remaining 18 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO/IEC 42001:2023 to SOC 2?
18 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls have no direct equivalent in SOC 2. The highest concentration of gaps is in Clause 0 to 3 and informative annexes – ISO/IEC 42001:2023 with 5 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/IEC 42001:2023 and SOC 2?
The domain with the highest gap count is Clause 0 to 3 and informative annexes – ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (5 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
