The SOC 2 to FedRAMP Moderate crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which FedRAMP Moderate 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 FedRAMP Moderate lands at 14.9%, while FedRAMP Moderate into SOC 2 lands at 60.7%, 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 FedRAMP Moderate, the other asks the reverse.
48 of 323 FedRAMP Moderate controls are evidenced by work you have already done for SOC 2. 275 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Users are registered and authorized, and access is removed when no longer appropriate.
Grounded in SOC2-CC6.2 Prior to granting access, registration and authorization processes are established. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Develop and disseminate access control policy and procedures; review at least annually (FedRAMP parameter); update following defined events.
Every one of the 48 evidenced controls and 275 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
37 of 61 SOC 2 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for FedRAMP Moderate. 24 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Emergency power is an environmental protection supporting availability.
Grounded in PE-11 Emergency Power. Provide an uninterruptible power supply to facilitate [Selection (one or more): an orderly shutdown of the system; transition of the system to long-term alternate power] in the event of a primary power. 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 37 evidenced controls and 24 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 85% 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 FedRAMP Moderate 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 FedRAMP Moderate?
SOC 2 has 61 controls across its framework, while FedRAMP Moderate covers 238 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 52 overlapping controls (85% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in P - Privacy, where 9 SOC 2 controls have no direct FedRAMP Moderate equivalent.
How many controls map between SOC 2 and FedRAMP Moderate?
Of 61 total SOC 2 controls, 52 map directly to FedRAMP Moderate controls, representing 85% coverage. The remaining 9 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 FedRAMP Moderate?
9 SOC 2 controls have no direct equivalent in FedRAMP Moderate. The highest concentration of gaps is in P - Privacy with 9 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
