Question 1

What is the SaaS Compliance Checklist?

Accepted Answer

It is a free checklist for SaaS companies running SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR in parallel. It organizes the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls, and GDPR processor obligations, and crosswalks them so a single control can satisfy more than one framework.

Question 2

Is the checklist free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The checklist is free to download with no credit card required. You provide an email address and the asset is delivered to you along with access to a free RiskWatch trial.

Question 3

What is included in the checklist?

Accepted Answer

The SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, the ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls, GDPR processor obligations, and a crosswalk that shows where one control covers all three frameworks so you collect evidence once.

Question 4

Who is the checklist for?

Accepted Answer

Compliance and security leaders at SaaS companies, founders preparing for their first SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit, and GRC teams that need to manage multiple frameworks without duplicating work.

Question 5

Is it current for 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The checklist reflects the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001:2022, and GDPR as they stand in 2026. It was last updated in June 2026.

Question 6

How do I use it with RiskWatch?

Accepted Answer

Start a free RiskWatch trial and the underlying control library loads into your workspace. From there you can map shared controls once, assign evidence collection, and report on SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR together instead of tracking each framework in a separate spreadsheet.
