This number is directional. It says how much of Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) your APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.

39 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.

Where the gaps are

Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.

Part 4 - Integrity of Personal Information2 of 2 evidenced
Part 5 - Access to, and Correction of, Personal Information2 of 2 evidenced
Part 2 - Collection of Personal Information2 of 3 evidenced, 1 to do
Part 3 - Dealing with Personal Information2 of 4 evidenced, 2 to do
Part 1 - Consideration of Personal Information Privacy1 of 2 evidenced, 1 to do

Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.

Claims that did not hold

Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
