SOC 2CIS Controls v8

SOC 2 covers 26.1% of CIS Controls v8

40 of the 153 controls in CIS Controls v8 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for SOC 2. 113 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 CIS Controls v8 your SOC 2 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.

465 candidate mappings were examined and 364 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.

SOC2-CC6.8CIS-10.1argued against and upheld
Deploy and Maintain Anti-Malware Software

Controls to prevent or detect and act upon malicious software are deployed and maintained.

SOC2-CC6.8CIS-10.2argued against and upheld

Claims that did not hold

362 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.

SOC2-CC6.7CIS-11.3
