ISO 27701:2019 6.15.2: Information security reviews

Independent review of information security applies, and where the organization is a processor and individual customer audits are impractical or would increase risk, it should make available to customers, before and during a contract, independent evidence that security is implemented and operated to its policies and procedures, an independent audit normally being acceptable where it meets what the expected users will need and reports openly; technical compliance review must include methods of reviewing the tools and components involved in processing personal data, which can include ongoing monitoring that only permitted processing occurs and specific penetration or vulnerability testing such as motivated intruder testing of de-identified datasets.

You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27701:2019 have you already done?

ISO 27701:2019 6.15.2 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 27701:2019 your existing evidence covers. Hold SOC 2 and 58 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 289 were rejected on the SOC 2 pair alone.
