SOC 2 SOC2-PI1.1: PI1.1 Quality information about processing objectives, data definitions and specifications
Relevant, good-quality information about processing objectives, including what the processed data means and what products and services are specified to do, is obtained or generated, used and communicated to support use of the products and services. Points of focus: the information specifications needed to use products and services are identified; where data is supplied as part of a service or a reporting obligation, its definition is available to users and covers the population included, the nature of each element, sources, units of measure, accuracy and precision, uncertainty, the date or period observed and the inclusion and exclusion factors, is complete and accurate, and any metadata needed to understand it is described; and for goods, the information users need is available, clearly identifiable and validated.
This control maps to 46 controls across 15 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-DE.CM-09 Computing hardware and software, runtime environments, and their data are monitored to find potentially adverse events
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-04 Critical objectives, capabilities, and services that external stakeholders depend on or expect from the organization are understood and communicated
NIST-CSF-ID.AM-07 Inventories of data and corresponding metadata for designated data types are maintained
NIST-CSF-PR.DS-01 The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data-at-rest are protected
You are reading one control. How much of SOC 2 have you already done?
SOC 2 SOC2-PI1.1 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.
