What are the key differences between SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) and ISO 27017?

SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) has 67 controls across its framework, while ISO 27017 covers 37 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 12 overlapping controls (18% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in SOC 2 - Logical and Physical Access Controls, where 10 SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) controls have no direct ISO 27017 equivalent.

How many controls map between SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) and ISO 27017?

Of 67 total SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) controls, 12 map directly to ISO 27017 controls — representing 18% coverage. The remaining 55 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.

What are the compliance gaps when mapping SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) to ISO 27017?

55 SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27017. The highest concentration of gaps is in SOC 2 - Logical and Physical Access Controls with 10 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 SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) and ISO 27017?
