How This Template Works
Security compliance programs span multiple frameworks, dozens of controls, and hundreds of evidence artifacts — managing this complexity in disconnected spreadsheets creates gaps that auditors find. This Security Compliance Templates workbook provides a unified control assessment framework covering SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework controls in a single register, with cross-framework mapping so you can assess a control once and see it credited across multiple frameworks.
The workbook includes a control assessment register with implementation status, evidence documentation, and owner assignment; a framework mapping matrix showing where each control appears across SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST; a risk heatmap showing your current control gaps by severity; and a remediation tracker for prioritizing and assigning gap closure work. The evidence register links each control to the specific documentation, logs, or system configurations that demonstrate compliance. For detailed assessment of specific frameworks, pair this with the [GDPR Compliance Checklist](/templates/gdpr-checklist) and [SOC 2 Compliance Toolkit](/templates/soc2-compliance-toolkit).

Frequently Asked Questions
What security frameworks does this template cover?
The template covers three major frameworks: SOC 2 Type II Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy), ISO 27001 Annex A (93 controls in ISO 27001:2022), and NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0 — Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover). Cross-reference tables show where controls overlap.
Can I use this for both SOC 2 readiness and ISO 27001 preparation simultaneously?
Yes — that's the primary use case for the cross-framework mapping. Approximately 70% of SOC 2 controls overlap with ISO 27001 Annex A requirements. By assessing controls once and mapping to both frameworks, you can prepare for both simultaneously with significantly less effort than treating them as separate programs.
How do I handle controls that are partially implemented?
The assessment register uses a four-status system: Not Implemented, Partially Implemented, Implemented, and Verified/Tested. Partially implemented controls appear in the gap analysis with notes on what's missing. This nuanced status is more useful for remediation planning than a simple pass/fail, and it demonstrates to auditors a thoughtful, mature approach to compliance management.
