Securing the Cloud: Watch the SOC 2 + ISO 27001 Webinar Recording

Organizations running workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) are increasingly facing a dual compliance mandate: achieve SOC 2 Type II attestation while simultaneously pursuing ISO 27001 certification. Too often, these efforts are approached in isolation, resulting in duplicated workstreams, increased costs, and timelines that stretch well beyond a year.

SecureIT, in collaboration with Cloud Storage Security (CSS) and the AWS Global Security & Compliance Acceleration (GSCA) program, recently hosted a joint webinar designed to challenge that approach. The session is now available on-demand, offering a practical, integrated path to achieving both certifications faster and more efficiently.

A Unified Approach to Dual Compliance

This session walks through how organizations can align SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A controls into a single, coordinated compliance strategy. Leveraging the GSCA methodology, presenters demonstrate how AWS-native services, combined with partner tooling and advisory, can dramatically streamline the path to certification.

Rather than treating compliance as a documentation exercise, the webinar focuses on building a repeatable, evidence-driven program—one that reduces manual effort while improving audit readiness.

What You’ll Learn

Viewers of the recording will gain insight into:

• How AWS’s existing SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, accessible through AWS Artifact, can be leveraged as inherited controls, reducing audit scope from day one
• Where SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements overlap (and where they don’t), enabling teams to eliminate redundant work and duplicated evidence
• How AWS services across identity, monitoring, data protection, and automation map directly to both frameworks
• The role of GSCA program partners in accelerating compliance timelines beyond what native tooling alone can achieve
• How CSS delivers automated malware scanning, data classification, and continuous monitoring across S3, EBS, and EFS to satisfy key control requirements
• How SecureIT’s SPARC360 platform centralizes evidence collection, transforming AWS and CSS outputs into auditor-ready artifacts
• A practical roadmap to achieving dual certification in 6–9 months, compared to traditional 12–18 month timelines

From Manual Effort to Automated Compliance

A key theme throughout the session is the shift away from manual control mapping and spreadsheet-based evidence tracking. For organizations looking to go deeper on automation, we recommend exploring this companion resource:

This article expands on how infrastructure-as-code can be leveraged to standardize and scale compliance implementation, further reinforcing the concepts discussed in the webinar.

Built for Speed: Introducing Fractional Compliance Navigator

The webinar also highlights how SecureIT’s Fractional Compliance Navigator enables organizations to operationalize this approach. By combining expert advisory with continuous compliance tooling, teams can move from fragmented efforts to a structured, outcome-driven program without the need to build a full internal compliance team.
