ISO 27001 to SOC 2 control mapper
See how ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls relate to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, in both directions, with a confidence rating and a caveat on every mapping. A curated, hand-verified subset of the highest-value control areas to orient a crosswalk, not an authoritative or exhaustive mapping.
Control identifiers, ISO theme names and SOC 2 category names are taken from ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the AICPA Trust Services Criteria and are used for reference only; the short descriptions and the mappings are ISMS Copilot's own. Refer to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (via ISO or your national standards body) and the AICPA Trust Services Criteria for official wording.

Important
This tool is an editorial cross-reference aid to orient a mapping exercise, not an authoritative crosswalk, an audit, or a statement of conformity. The frameworks do not map one to one; mappings are judgement calls shown with a confidence rating. Confirm what evidence satisfies which criterion with your team and your auditor.
For the overlap in numbers, how many controls map and how strong the fit is, see our compliance AI research page.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an authoritative ISO 27001 to SOC 2 crosswalk?
No. It is an editorial cross-reference to orient your own mapping work. The two frameworks do not line up one to one, mappings are judgement calls, and your auditor's view of what evidence satisfies which criterion is what ultimately matters. Each mapping carries a confidence rating and a caveat.
Why doesn't every control map cleanly?
ISO 27001 Annex A is a catalogue of 93 controls; SOC 2 is a set of criteria a CPA firm tests. One ISO control often relates to several SOC 2 criteria and vice versa, and SOC 2 has no direct equivalent for some ISO controls (and the reverse). Partial mappings explain where the fit is loose.
Does it cover the Availability, Confidentiality, and Privacy criteria?
It references the Availability and Confidentiality criteria where ISO controls relate to them, but those apply only if you include those categories in your SOC 2 report scope. Most SOC 2 reports cover the Security (common criteria) category; the others are optional.
Are these the official ISO and SOC 2 titles?
No. The identifiers (e.g. A.8.15, CC7.2), the ISO theme names and the SOC 2 category names are taken from ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the AICPA Trust Services Criteria and are used for reference only. The short description next to each identifier is our own practitioner's label for what the area covers in practice; it is not the ISO control title or text, and not the AICPA criterion text. For the official wording, get ISO/IEC 27001:2022 from ISO or your national standards body and the Trust Services Criteria from the AICPA.
Is this a curated subset or the full mapping?
A curated, hand-verified subset of the highest-value control areas, on purpose. A wide, lightly-checked crosswalk would be less trustworthy than a tighter, verified one. Use it as a starting point and confirm the full mapping for your scope with your team and auditor.
