Other controls in P - Privacy

You are reading one control. How much of SOC 2 have you already done?

SOC 2 P4.2 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of SOC 2 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 49 of 61 SOC 2 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. 193 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
