Frequently Asked Questions
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is a compliance framework from United States with 17 domains and 54 controls. Trust Service Criteria for service organizations covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
How many controls does SOC 2 have?
SOC 2 has 54 controls organised across 17 domains. The largest domains are CC - Common Criteria (Security) (31 controls), P - Privacy (13 controls), PI - Processing Integrity (5 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
What frameworks does SOC 2 map to?
SOC 2 maps to 148 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are AICPA SOC 3 (57% coverage), C5 (Germany) (41% coverage), SSAE 18 - Attestation Standards (SOC Reporting) (24% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
How do I get started with SOC 2 compliance?
Start your SOC 2 compliance journey by running a self-assessment on our platform to identify your current compliance posture. Our AI advisory can answer specific questions about SOC 2 requirements, and cross-framework mapping helps you leverage existing controls from other frameworks you may already comply with.
