SOC 2NIS2 Directive

SOC 2 covers 32.1% of NIS2 Directive

9 of the 28 controls in NIS2 Directive are already satisfied by evidence you collected for SOC 2. 19 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.

What this leaves you to do

NIS2 Directive has 28 controls. Holding SOC 2 already evidences 9 of them, so the work in front of you is 19 controls, not 28, which is 68% of the standard rather than all of it.

That is the whole claim. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.

In money, using only our numbers. The full report is $299 and names 9 controls of NIS2 Directive you do not have to implement again, which is $33.22 per control identified. That arithmetic uses our price and our count and assumes nothing about you.

In your hours, using your assumption. We do not know what a control costs you to implement, so pick the column that looks like your organisation. These are your figures, not our claim.

Multiply by your own rate. We publish no rate because we have not measured yours, and a number built on an invented rate is the kind of claim this platform exists to argue against.

This number is directional. It says how much of NIS2 Directive 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.

48 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-20, 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.

NIS2 Chapter IV: Cybersecurity Risk-Management Measures (Article 21)8 of 13 evidenced, 5 to do
NIS2 Chapter IV: Governance (Article 20)1 of 2 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter IV: Incident Reporting (Article 23)0 of 6 evidenced, 6 to do
NIS2 Chapter IV: Supply Chain Assessment, Certification and Standardisation (Articles 22, 24, 25)0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter V: Jurisdiction and Registration0 of 3 evidenced, 3 to do
NIS2 Chapter VI: Information Sharing0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter I: General Provisions0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter VII: Supervision and Enforcement0 of 1 evidenced, 1 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.

SOC2-CC1.3Art.20.1argued against and upheld
Management body approves the cybersecurity risk-management measures and oversees their implementation

Management establishes structures, reporting lines and authorities with board oversight.

SOC2-CC1.2Art.20.1argued against and upheld
Management body approves the cybersecurity risk-management measures and oversees their implementation

The board exercises oversight of the development and performance of internal control, the duty this article imposes.

SOC2-CC3.2Art.21.2.aargued against and upheld
Policies on risk analysis and on information system security

Risks identified across the entity and analysed to determine how managed is the risk analysis limb.

SOC2-CC5.3Art.21.2.aargued against and upheld
Policies on risk analysis and on information system security

Control activities deployed through policies stating expectations and procedures is the policy limb.

SOC2-CC7.3Art.21.2.bargued against and upheld
Incident handling

Evaluating security events to determine incident status is the triage limb.

SOC2-CC7.4Art.21.2.bargued against and upheld
Incident handling

Defined response with roles, severity, containment, remediation, restoration and communication is incident handling.

SOC2-CC7.2Art.21.2.bargued against and upheld
Incident handling

Monitoring components for anomalies indicative of malicious acts, with analysis, is the detection limb.

SOC2-CC7.5Art.21.2.bargued against and upheld
Incident handling

Recovery activities and root cause identification are the recover and learn limbs.

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.
