SOC 2vsDORA
See exactly how SOC 2 controls map to DORA. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which DORA controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
SOC 2 maps to DORA with 75% coverage across 46 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 61 SOC 2 controls identifies 15 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in P - Privacy.

The SOC 2 to DORA crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which DORA controls your existing SOC 2 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. SOC 2 into DORA lands at 46.2%, while DORA into SOC 2 lands at 37.7%, 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 SOC 2 evidence buys you for DORA, the other asks the reverse.
12 of 26 DORA controls are evidenced by work you have already done for SOC 2. 14 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Monitors components for anomalies indicating malicious acts, disasters and errors, then analyses them.
Grounded in SOC2-CC7.2 Monitors system components for anomalies indicating malicious acts. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Specified smaller and non-interconnected financial entities are subject to a simplified ICT risk management framework with proportionate requirements (sound systems, monitoring, business continuity, incident handling and testing).
Every one of the 12 evidenced controls and 14 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
23 of 61 SOC 2 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for DORA. 38 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Systems must carry sufficient capacity for additional processing needs under stressed conditions.
Grounded in DORA-Art.7 ICT systems, protocols and tools. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Disposes of confidential information to meet the entity's objectives related to confidentiality
Every one of the 23 evidenced controls and 38 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 75% in the header counts how many SOC 2 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many DORA 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 SOC 2 and DORA?
SOC 2 has 61 controls across its framework, while DORA covers 26 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 46 overlapping controls (75% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in P - Privacy, where 11 SOC 2 controls have no direct DORA equivalent.
How many controls map between SOC 2 and DORA?
Of 61 total SOC 2 controls, 46 map directly to DORA controls, representing 75% coverage. The remaining 15 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping SOC 2 to DORA?
15 SOC 2 controls have no direct equivalent in DORA. The highest concentration of gaps is in P - Privacy with 11 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 SOC 2 and DORA?
The domain with the highest gap count is P - Privacy (11 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
