PCI DSS 4.0SOC 2

PCI DSS 4.0 covers 37.7% of SOC 2

23 of the 61 controls in SOC 2 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for PCI DSS 4.0. 38 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 PCI DSS 4.0 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.

121 candidate mappings were examined and 56 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)21 of 33 evidenced, 12 to do
A - Availability0 of 3 evidenced, 3 to do
P - Privacy0 of 18 evidenced, 18 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.

9.4.2SOC2-C1.1argued against and upheld
Confidential information is identified and protected during receipt, processing, storage

PCI classifies media according to the sensitivity of the data it holds

3.2.1SOC2-C1.1argued against and upheld

PCI requires every location of stored protected data be identified and kept to a minimum

9.4.7SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

PCI destroys electronic media so protected data cannot be reconstructed

Confidential information is disposed of securely

PCI destroys hard copy by crosscut shredding, incineration or pulping

3.2.1SOC2-C1.2argued against and upheld
Confidential information is disposed of securely

PCI requires secure deletion of protected data once the retention period ends

12.1.4SOC2-CC1.3argued against and upheld
COSO principle 3: Management establishes structures, reporting lines, and authorities

PCI assigns information security responsibility to a named executive with a reporting line

12.1.1SOC2-CC2.2argued against and upheld
COSO principle 14: Internally communicates information including objectives and responsibilities

COSO principle 14: Internally communicates information including objectives and responsibilities

PCI communicates responsibilities through training on hire and at least annually

Claims that did not hold

55 proposed mappings for this pair were rejected. They are kept in the graph rather than deleted, so what was thrown out is as inspectable as what survived. A crosswalk that never rejects anything is not being judged.
