SOC 2 gap analysis with ISMS Copilot
Close Trust Service Criteria points-of-focus gaps before the readiness assessment.
Closing TSC gaps before the readiness assessment
SOC 2 has no fixed control list — it has the five Trust Service Criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy) built on the COSO common criteria, each with points of focus that auditors use to test control design and operating effectiveness. ISMS Copilot walks the common criteria (CC1 governance through CC9 risk mitigation) plus any additional criteria in your scope, asks how each control operates today, and returns a points-of-focus-level delta rather than a vague pass or fail. It also identifies the complementary user-entity controls (CUECs) your service organization relies on but does not perform, since an undisclosed CUEC is a common reason a Type II report draws a qualified opinion. The result is a remediation list ordered by audit risk, ready before you pay for a formal readiness assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Trust Service Criteria does it assess?
Security is mandatory and always assessed. ISMS Copilot also covers Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy when they are in your report scope, down to the individual points of focus.
Does it handle Type I versus Type II differences?
Yes. For Type I it focuses on control design at a point in time; for Type II it additionally probes operating-effectiveness evidence over your observation period.
What are complementary user-entity controls and why do they matter?
CUECs are controls your customers must operate for your controls to be effective. They must be disclosed in the report. ISMS Copilot flags likely CUECs so they are documented rather than discovered during the audit.
