SOC 2 vs NIST refers to the comparison between two widely recognized frameworks for cybersecurity and data protection. SOC 2 focuses on evaluating an organization’s internal controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, specifically for service organizations. In contrast, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) provides a broader set of guidelines, including detailed cybersecurity practices and risk management frameworks. While SOC 2 is more tailored to service providers and external audits, NIST offers comprehensive standards for both private and public sectors. Organizations often use both frameworks together to strengthen security and compliance posture.
