Example Prompt
Map our information security policies against SOC2 Type II requirements: POLICIES PROVIDED: 1. Information Security Policy 2. Access Control Policy 3. Data Classification Policy 4. Incident Response Policy 5. Vendor Management Policy SOC2 TRUST SERVICES CRITERIA: - CC6: Logical and Physical Access Controls - CC7: System Operations - CC8: Change Management - CC9: Risk Mitigation FOR EACH SOC2 REQUIREMENT: 1.

If partial: Describe enhancement needed OUTPUT: - Requirement-by-requirement mapping table - Gap summary - Remediation recommendations by priority - Sample policy language for critical gaps
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Claude write policies to fill gaps?
Yes. Once gaps are identified, Claude can draft policy language to address requirements. Review carefully before adoption.
How do I maintain mapping as regulations change?
Re-run mapping when regulations update. Consider maintaining the mapping matrix in a living document.
What about industry-specific frameworks (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)?
Specify the framework and Claude will map against those requirements. For specialized frameworks, provide requirement details.
