SOC 2

Self-Assess
International (AICPA attestation standard, used worldwide)
v2017 Trust Services Criteria (revised points of focus 2022)
5 domains
61 controls

SOC 2 examinations evaluate a service organisation's controls against the AICPA 2017 Trust Services Criteria: 61 criteria across security (the common criteria CC1 to CC9, built on the COSO 2013 principles), availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy, each with points of focus revised in 2022.

Verified

SOC 2 is a compliance framework from International (AICPA attestation standard, used worldwide) with 5 domains and 61 controls that map to 182 other frameworks. The largest domains are CC - Common Criteria (Security) (33 controls), P - Privacy (18 controls), PI - Processing Integrity (5 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare SOC 2 with Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what SOC 2 overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is SOC 2 and who does it apply to?

SOC 2 is a compliance framework from International (AICPA attestation standard, used worldwide) with 5 domains and 61 controls. SOC 2 examinations evaluate a service organisation's controls against the AICPA 2017 Trust Services Criteria: 61 criteria across security (the common criteria CC1 to CC9, built on the COSO 2013 principles), availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy, each with points of focus revised in 2022. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does SOC 2 actually require?

SOC 2 has 61 controls organised across 5 domains. The largest domains are CC - Common Criteria (Security) (33 controls), P - Privacy (18 controls), PI - Processing Integrity (5 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of SOC 2 do I already cover?

SOC 2 maps to 182 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 (100% coverage), NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 (100% coverage), ISO 27001:2022 (98% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
