Soc 2 vs nist

SOC 2 and NIST frameworks both focus on cybersecurity and data protection but serve different purposes. SOC 2, developed by the AICPA, assesses an organization’s controls based on five Trust Service Criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy). It is commonly used in service organizations to demonstrate compliance with security best practices. NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) provides broader cybersecurity frameworks like NIST 800-53 and NIST CSF, widely used in federal agencies and organizations seeking robust security guidelines. While SOC 2 is an attestation report, NIST is a set of guidelines that organizations can implement for cybersecurity maturity.
