HIPAA vs. ISO 27001 - What are the differences?

Please note that either SOC2 and HIPAA focus on controls to be implemented, while ISO 27001 provides a framework for information security management, meaning that it also covers the controls improvement and adjustment according to changes in a business context, based on a risk management approach.

Considering that including in an audit of SOC2 and HIPPA references to clauses 4-10 of ISO 27001 only makes sense if the organization, besides the required controls, also has a management system.

My point of view is that “HIPAA plus ISO” trend will increase, and since legal requirements for information security will also increase, the adoption of a full information security management system will require future audits to include clauses 4-10 of ISO 27001, if not because HIPAA requirements, but because organizations will realize that a full management system will help them better manage multiple legal requirements for information security
