Crosswalk pair

SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline, control by control

1 canonical control in Keel’s library satisfies clauses of both SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.

The overlap

What the two libraries have in common

Every figure here counts canonical controls in Keel’s library, not clauses of either standard. Each standard’s own authored count is on its framework page.

1

Controls that satisfy both

Canonical controls that crosswalk to at least one clause of each.

29

In Keel’s library for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404

3% of them also map to US Employment Law - Federal Baseline.

11

In Keel’s library for US Employment Law - Federal Baseline

9% of them also map to SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404.

3

Evidence artifacts expected

Across the shared controls, from Keel’s evidence guidance. Gathered once.

  • SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 Act of 2002 §404; COSO 2013 framework, 17 principles 3%

    1 control of 29 in Keel’s library for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 also maps to US Employment Law - Federal Baseline.

  • US Employment Law - Federal Baseline US federal baseline 9%

    1 control of 11 in Keel’s library for US Employment Law - Federal Baseline also maps to SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404.

The mapping

Controls that satisfy both

Each row is one control in Keel’s library and the clauses it answers on each side. Do the work once; both columns are then evidenced by the same artifacts.

Canonical control SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404 clauses US Employment Law - Federal Baseline clauses
Personnel security (HR) Background screening, confidentiality agreements, and onboarding/offboarding security steps. Before a person is given access to sensitive data, and again whenever their role changes, a documented determination is made that the access their work calls for is appropriate to it - the screening informs that decision but is not the decision. What screening may ask is itself bounded: enquiries about a candidate’s health, disability or medical history are not made, and medical examinations are not required, before a conditional offer of the role has been made, and where such enquiries or examinations are made after an offer they are applied to everyone entering that role rather than to the individuals somebody chose to ask. Access is ended when their employment, or any other arrangement under which they worked for the organization, comes to an end, and whenever that determination says they should no longer hold it.

Beyond the pair

Where else this work counts

A framework is lit when a shared control above also maps to it. Unlit means none of them do — an absence, not a judgment about that standard.

The thesis

Why this is one project, not two

On a crosswalk-native model, US Employment Law - Federal Baseline mostly lights up controls you already built for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) Section 404. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.

Next step

Add US Employment Law - Federal Baseline to the work you already did

Apply both frameworks in one workspace and see the overlap measured against the controls you already hold.
