The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) to APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System controls your existing Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) 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. Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) into APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System lands at 47.5%, while APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System into Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) lands at 69.2%, 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 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) evidence buys you for APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System, the other asks the reverse.
28 of 59 APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System controls are evidenced by work you have already done for Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). 31 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Fixes the matters that must be notified at the point of collection.
Grounded in APP-5 APP 5 - Notification of the collection of personal information. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Design protections to prevent misuse of personal information taking into account risks of harm to individuals.
Every one of the 28 evidenced controls and 31 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
9 of 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) controls are evidenced by work you have already done for APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System. 4 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Requires maintained internal policies and implementing arrangements that ensure compliance with the privacy principles.
Grounded in CBPR-PR-39 Measures to ensure compliance. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Give individuals the option of not identifying themselves, or of using a pseudonym, unless an exception applies.
Every one of the 9 evidenced controls and 4 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 85% in the header counts how many Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System 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.
