Azure Security Benchmark covers 24.6% of SOC 2
15 of the 61 controls in SOC 2 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for Azure Security Benchmark. 46 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.
This number is directional. It says how much of SOC 2 your Azure Security Benchmark evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.
59 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.
Where the gaps are
Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.
Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.
Claims that held
A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.
Encryption, immutability and soft delete evidence protection of the recovery infrastructure.
Automated backup configuration with defined retention evidences the data backup process required.
Periodic recovery testing against stated RTO and RPO is exactly the tested recovery evidence.
Discovery, classification and labelling evidences identifying and maintaining confidential information.
Fine grained role based access control evidences the access architecture over protected assets.
Conditional access on user, device, location and risk is logical access security in operation.
Enforced phishing resistant multifactor authentication is core logical access security software.
A central identity system is the logical access infrastructure protecting information assets.
Claims that did not hold
Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
