63% of NIST SP 800-88 you already have
SOC 2 already covers about 63% of NIST SP 800-88, 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 NIST SP 800-88. 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.
