SOC 2 SOC2-CC1.5: CC1.5 Accountability for internal control responsibilities (COSO principle 5)
People are held answerable for the internal control duties assigned to them. Points of focus: structures and authority are used to communicate duties and apply corrective action; performance measures, incentives and rewards reflect control responsibilities and expected conduct across short and longer terms; those incentives are reviewed for continued relevance; pressures created by targets are weighed when assigning work and measuring performance; and performance of control duties, including conduct and competence, is evaluated with reward or discipline as warranted. The 2022 revision adds, for privacy engagements, a defined sanctions process used when staff breach privacy policies or cause a privacy incident through negligence.
This control maps to 74 controls across 29 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

You are reading one control. How much of SOC 2 have you already done?
SOC 2 SOC2-CC1.5 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.
