See exactly how APPI controls map to GDPR. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which GDPR controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
APPI maps to GDPR with 83% coverage across 25 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 30 APPI controls identifies 5 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in APPI: Anonymized Personal Information (Articles 43 to 46).

The APPI to GDPR crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which GDPR controls your existing APPI work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
Coverage does not run both ways. APPI into GDPR lands at 29.3%, while GDPR into APPI lands at 50%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your APPI evidence buys you for GDPR, the other asks the reverse.
12 of 41 GDPR controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APPI. 29 are genuine gaps.
15 of 30 APPI controls are evidenced by work you have already done for GDPR. 15 are genuine gaps.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 83% in the header counts how many APPI controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many GDPR controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.
