Strategic Alignment for SOC2 Control Compliance

Achieving SOC2 control compliance is a critical milestone for organizations looking to demonstrate their commitment to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. When an organization has successfully implemented ISO-based management systems, such as ISO27001 for Information Security Management and ISO20000 for Service Management, it is well-positioned to leverage these frameworks to meet SOC2 requirements. InfoSecurix specializes in this strategic alignment, ensuring that the controls established under these ISO standards can be effectively mapped against SOC2 criteria.

Leveraging ISO Management Systems for SOC2 Compliance

The core of our approach lies in the comprehensive nature of ISO management systems, which encompass a wide range of controls covering aspects of security, risk management, and process integrity. These controls, once implemented, form a solid foundation upon which SOC2 compliance can be built.

ISO27001 ISMS and SOC2 Alignment

ISO27001's focus on information security management is particularly aligned with SOC2’s security, confidentiality, and privacy criteria. InfoSecurix helps organizations map the security controls from their ISMS to SOC2 requirements, ensuring that the stringent standards of ISO27001 aid in meeting the Trust Service Criteria of SOC2. This includes aspects such as risk assessment, information security policies, data encryption, access control, and incident response.

ISO20000 SMS and SOC2 Synergy

Similarly, the Service Management System under ISO20000, which focuses on delivering and managing services to meet business and customer requirements, aligns well with SOC2’s focus on availability and processing integrity. We guide organizations in mapping controls related to service delivery processes, change management, and service level management to SOC2 criteria.

Gap Analysis and Control Mapping

Our methodology includes conducting a detailed gap analysis to identify any areas where the ISO controls need to be expanded or adjusted to fully meet SOC2 requirements. We then proceed to map these controls, ensuring a comprehensive coverage of SOC2 criteria.

Documentation and Evidence Preparation

InfoSecurix assists in preparing the necessary documentation and evidence to demonstrate SOC2 compliance. This includes policies, procedures, risk assessments, and audit reports that provide clear evidence of the effective implementation of SOC2 controls.

Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

Achieving SOC2 compliance is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. We provide continuous monitoring and improvement services to ensure that the SOC2 controls remain effective and adapt to changes in the business environment, technology, and regulatory landscape.
