SOC 2NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3

SOC 2 covers 32% of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3

31 of the 97 controls in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 are already satisfied by evidence you collected for SOC 2. 66 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 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 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.

91 candidate mappings were examined and 15 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-CC6.203.01.01argued against and upheld
Account Management

Registration, authorization and removal of user accounts is exactly account management evidence.

SOC2-CC6.103.01.02argued against and upheld
Access Enforcement

Logical access security enforcing authorizations over protected assets is the same enforcement evidence.

SOC2-CC6.303.01.04argued against and upheld
Separation of Duties

CC6.3 explicitly requires consideration of segregation of incompatible duties in access design.

SOC2-CC6.303.01.05argued against and upheld
Least Privilege

CC6.3 requires access based on roles and least privilege with periodic review.

SOC2-CC6.303.01.06argued against and upheld
Least Privilege - Privileged Accounts

Role based authorization of privileged access to protected assets is the same evidence.

SOC2-CC6.603.01.12argued against and upheld
Remote Access

CC6.6 restricts and protects access originating outside the boundary, which is remote access.

SOC2-CC6.703.01.18argued against and upheld
Access Control for Mobile Devices

CC6.7 points of focus require protection of information on mobile devices.

SOC2-CC7.203.03.01argued against and upheld
Event Logging

Monitoring components for anomalies requires defined event types to be logged.

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.
