SOC 2 vs ISO 27001

Most teams that need both should start with ISO 27001, then run SOC 2 in parallel. Packets is built for that sequence.

The short version

ISO 27001 is a management system. SOC 2 is an attestation against Trust Services Criteria. Overlap is large; start with the one your buyers ask for first, usually ISO in India and mixed globally.

  • ISO first, then SOC 2 in parallel
  • Reuse controls and evidence
  • Packets maps both in one workspace
