The Mapping Math
How to Leverage SOC 2 for Other Standards
ISOISO 27001 Strategy
Focus on building your **Information Security Management System (ISMS)**. This includes high-level policies, internal audit processes, and management reviews that SOC 2 doesn't always go deep on.
HHIPAA Strategy
Add the **Privacy** and **Confidentiality** Trust Service Criteria to your SOC 2 audit. This covers the vast majority of the HIPAA Security Rule and some of the Privacy Rule.
Action Plan for Founders
- 1
Map once, audit many.
- 2
Use a GRC tool to link one piece of evidence to multiple framework controls.
- 3
When hiring an auditor, ask if they can perform a 'Consolidated Audit' for multiple frameworks at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SOC 2 count as ISO 27001?
No, but they share about 80% of the same controls. If you have a solid SOC 2, you have already done most of the technical work for ISO 27001. The main difference is ISO's focus on a 'Management System' (ISMS).
How do I add HIPAA to my SOC 2?
You can add the HIPAA 'Security Rule' requirements as an additional set of Trust Services Criteria to your SOC 2 audit. This results in a 'SOC 2 + HIPAA' report.
Can I use the same evidence for multiple audits?
Absolutely. A single screenshot of your MFA configuration can serve as evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. This 'collect once, use many' approach is the key to scaling compliance.
