APPIvsISO 27701:2019
See exactly how APPI controls map to ISO 27701:2019. Pre-computed mappings, identified gaps, and coverage analysis.
A reviewed coverage crosswalk for this pair is available. See which ISO 27701:2019 controls you already evidence.
According to the TheArtOfService Compliance Knowledge Graph:
APPI maps to ISO 27701:2019 with 80% coverage across 24 directly mapped controls. Analysis of 30 APPI controls identifies 6 compliance gaps, primarily concentrated in APPI: Anonymized Personal Information (Articles 43 to 46).

The APPI to ISO 27701:2019 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO 27701:2019 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 ISO 27701:2019 lands at 19.4%, while ISO 27701:2019 into APPI lands at 53.3%, 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 ISO 27701:2019, the other asks the reverse.
21 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APPI. 87 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
The purpose of use must be specified as far as possible and cannot drift beyond it.
Grounded in APPI-A17 Specification of the Purpose of Use. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Every requirement of ISO/IEC 27001 that speaks of information security must be read as extending to the protection of privacy as it may be affected by the processing of personally identifiable information, so the management system is...
Every one of the 21 evidenced controls and 87 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
16 of 30 APPI controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO 27701:2019. 14 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Requires specific purposes of processing to be identified and documented in usable detail.
Grounded in iso-27701-2019::7.2.1 Identify and document purpose. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Do not use personal information by a method that may encourage or induce an unlawful or unjust act.
Every one of the 16 evidenced controls and 14 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- 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 80% 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 ISO 27701:2019 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.

What are the key differences between APPI and ISO 27701:2019?
APPI has 30 controls across its framework, while ISO 27701:2019 covers 108 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 24 overlapping controls (80% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in APPI: Anonymized Personal Information (Articles 43 to 46), where 3 APPI controls have no direct ISO 27701:2019 equivalent.
How many controls map between APPI and ISO 27701:2019?
Of 30 total APPI controls, 24 map directly to ISO 27701:2019 controls, representing 80% coverage. The remaining 6 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping APPI to ISO 27701:2019?
6 APPI controls have no direct equivalent in ISO 27701:2019. The highest concentration of gaps is in APPI: Anonymized Personal Information (Articles 43 to 46) with 3 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between APPI and ISO 27701:2019?
The domain with the highest gap count is APPI: Anonymized Personal Information (Articles 43 to 46) (3 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
