Framework overlap

Does SOC 2 cover Privacy Act 2020?

You hold SOC 2 and have been told to do Privacy Act 2020. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

75% of Privacy Act 2020 you already have

SOC 2 already covers about 75% of Privacy Act 2020, leaving 2 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 0 Likely covered 6 New work 2

No control in SOC 2 maps directly to one in Privacy Act 2020. 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.

NZPRV-1
IPP 1-4 Purpose, Source, Collection from Subject, Manner of Collection
NZPRV-4
IPP 9-10 Retention, Limits on Use
Show the 6 you already have
NZPRV-2
IPP 5 Storage and Security of Personal Information
NZPRV-3
IPP 6-8 Access, Correction, Accuracy
NZPRV-5
IPP 11-12 Disclosure, Cross-Border Disclosure (Schedule 8)
NZPRV-6
IPP 13 Unique Identifiers, Privacy Impact Assessment, Privacy by Design
NZPRV-7
Notifiable Privacy Breach Scheme
NZPRV-8
Privacy Officer, OPC Cooperation, Compliance Notices, Complaints, Training

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.
