Framework overlap

Does SOC 2 cover WCAG 2.2?

You hold SOC 2 and have been told to do WCAG 2.2. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

20% of WCAG 2.2 you already have

SOC 2 already covers about 20% of WCAG 2.2, leaving 4 of 5 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 1 Likely covered 0 New work 4

What is genuinely new work

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

WCAGREC-1
Principle 1: Perceivable
WCAGREC-2
Principle 2: Operable
WCAGREC-4
Principle 4: Robust
WCAGREC-5

WCAGREC-3
Principle 3: Understandable

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.
