NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3SOC 2

NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 covers 42.6% of SOC 2

26 of the 61 controls in SOC 2 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3. 35 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 800-171 Rev 3 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.

98 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 - Confidentiality2 of 2 evidenced
CC - Common Criteria (Security)23 of 33 evidenced, 10 to do
P - Privacy1 of 18 evidenced, 17 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.

03.08.04SOC2-C1.1argued against and upheld
Confidential information is identified and protected during receipt, processing, storage

Marking media with distribution limits and handling caveats evidences identification of confidential information.

03.04.11SOC2-C1.1argued against and upheld
Confidential information is identified and protected during receipt, processing, storage

Requires identifying and documenting where CUI resides and which components process it.

03.08.03SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

Sanitizing or destroying media before disposal, release or reuse, with verification, is the disposal evidence.

03.15.03SOC2-CC2.2argued against and upheld
COSO principle 14: Internally communicates information including objectives and responsibilities

Rules of behavior communicate user responsibilities and require acknowledgment before access is granted.

03.15.01SOC2-CC2.2argued against and upheld
COSO principle 14: Internally communicates information including objectives and responsibilities

Requires developing, documenting and disseminating policy and procedures across every security family.

03.11.04SOC2-CC3.2argued against and upheld
COSO principle 7: Identifies risks and analyzes to determine how managed

Requires responding to findings by accepting, transferring, mitigating or avoiding, which determines how risks are managed.

03.11.01SOC2-CC3.2argued against and upheld
COSO principle 7: Identifies risks and analyzes to determine how managed

Risk assessments covering likelihood and impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability directly satisfy risk identification and analysis.

03.11.01SOC2-CC3.4argued against and upheld
COSO principle 9: Identifies and assesses changes that could impact internal controls

Risk assessments must be updated when significant changes occur, matching the change assessment requirement.

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.
