ISO 27001:2022 vs SOC 2
What is the difference between ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2?
ISO 27001:2022 is a information security framework applying in International, with 93 controls across 6 domains. SOC 2 is a other framework applying in the United States, with 61 controls across 5 domains. They govern different subjects, so the overlap is limited to the governance requirements they share. The mapping below shows where that is.
Measured coverage between these frameworks
We map controls between these two frameworks in a knowledge graph and have a person review every mapping before it is published. Below is what that review found. The figures are read live from the graph, not written by hand.
ISO 27001:2022 into SOC 2
57.4%35 of 61 SOC 2 controls carry evidence from ISO 27001:2022, leaving 26 to satisfy separately.
189 candidate mappings were examined and 102 were rejected on review, signed off 2026-08-19.
