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.
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.
PCI classifies media according to the sensitivity of the data it holds
PCI requires every location of stored protected data be identified and kept to a minimum
PCI destroys electronic media so protected data cannot be reconstructed
PCI destroys hard copy by crosscut shredding, incineration or pulping
PCI requires secure deletion of protected data once the retention period ends
PCI assigns information security responsibility to a named executive with a reporting line
PCI security policy must be disseminated to all relevant personnel and partners
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.
Held back 2026-08-19. Generated by the retired metered path, refuted at 56 percent wherever re-judged. Pair pulled from sale pending a rebuild on the Max plan.
Claimed at high confidence before it was rejected.
