Framework overlap

Does SOC 2 cover MDS2 (Medical Device)?

You hold SOC 2 and have been told to do MDS2 (Medical Device). Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

63% of MDS2 (Medical Device) you already have

SOC 2 already covers about 63% of MDS2 (Medical Device), leaving 3 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 5 New work 3

No control in SOC 2 maps directly to one in MDS2 (Medical Device). Everything counted as covered is covered because both map to the same third standard, which is what a crosswalk is, but it is an inference rather than a lookup.

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in SOC 2 reaches these. This is the list to scope.

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in SOC 2 to that control. Likely covered means no direct mapping exists but both frameworks map to the same control in a third standard. New work means neither. We keep those separate rather than adding them into one friendlier number, because blending them would present a two-hop inference as a verified fact.

Coverage is not symmetric. Run it the other way and you will get a different number; both are correct.

From 332,959 cross-framework control mappings across 723 frameworks, 531 of them verified against their source documents. It does not tell you that you are compliant: a mapped control means the two standards ask for the same thing, not that you have done it.
