NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1SOC 2

NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 covers 21.3% of SOC 2

13 of the 61 controls in SOC 2 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1. 48 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 NIST SP 800-161 Rev 1 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.

71 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.

C - Confidentiality1 of 2 evidenced, 1 to do
CC - Common Criteria (Security)8 of 33 evidenced, 25 to do
P - Privacy4 of 18 evidenced, 14 to do
A - Availability0 of 3 evidenced, 3 to do
PI - Processing Integrity0 of 5 evidenced, 5 to do

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.

SR-12SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

Disposes components so confidential information cannot leave with them.

SI-12SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

Governs disposal of retained information, including information held by providers.

MP-6SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

Sanitizes media holding confidential information before release, reuse or return.

SR-8SOC2-CC2.3argued against and upheld
COSO principle 15: Communicates with external parties regarding matters affecting controls

Establishes the contractual channel through which external parties report matters affecting controls.

SA-4SOC2-CC2.3argued against and upheld
COSO principle 15: Communicates with external parties regarding matters affecting controls

Communicates control responsibilities to external parties through acquisition requirements.

SR-12SOC2-CC6.5argued against and upheld
Discontinues logical and physical protections over physical assets only after the ability to read or recover data and software from those assets has been diminished and is no longer required to meet the entity's

Component disposal so data cannot be recovered from retired assets.

MP-6SOC2-CC6.5argued against and upheld
Discontinues logical and physical protections over physical assets only after the ability to read or recover data and software from those assets has been diminished and is no longer required to meet the entity's

Media sanitization before assets leave organizational control is the substance of this criterion.

SI-7SOC2-CC6.8argued against and upheld
Controls to prevent or detect unauthorized or malicious software

Verifies software and firmware integrity before and after installation.

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.
