Do SOC 2 and ISO 27001 really overlap by 90%?

The Answer

Did you know SOC 2 and ISO 27001 overlap nearly 90%? That's right — two different standards, but almost the same core controls.

Both ask the same fundamental questions: Who can access your systems? How do you log and respond to incidents? How do you manage third-party risk?

So if you're going for both, don't double the work. Implement once and map across both standards. One strong access control policy can check the box for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

That's how growing SaaS companies scale compliance without the chaos. Planning to go for both frameworks? Let me know — I'm happy to share tips on how to streamline the journey.
