Mapping Controls to Frameworks: A Practical Walkthrough

~8 min read · Tags: SOC 2, ISO 27001

Start with your reality

List current practices (change management, access, incident, backups) and identify control owners.

Create a mapping table

Control           | Evidence                     | SOC2 Criteria | ISO Annex A
-----------------|------------------------------|---------------|-------------
Access Reviews   | Review logs, tickets         | CC6.x         | A.9
Change Control   | PRs, approvals, CI logs      | CC8.x         | A.12
Backups          | Schedules, restore tests     | A1.x          | A.12

ComplySherpa lets you link a single control to multiple framework requirements.

Iterate with auditors

Share mappings early; converge on scope before audit window starts.
