ISO 27701:2019Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

ISO 27701:2019 covers 76.9% of Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

10 of the 13 controls in Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) are already satisfied by evidence you collected for ISO 27701:2019. 3 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.

What this leaves you to do

Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) has 13 controls. Holding ISO 27701:2019 already evidences 10 of them, so the work in front of you is 3 controls, not 13, which is 23% of the standard rather than all of it.

That is the whole claim. We do not know your hourly rate, how long a control takes you, or how many people you have, so there is no figure here in dollars or weeks. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.

This number is directional. It says how much of Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) your ISO 27701:2019 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.

36 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 3 - Dealing with Personal Information3 of 4 evidenced, 1 to do
Part 2 - Collection of Personal Information2 of 3 evidenced, 1 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 held

A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.

6.2.1APP-1argued against and upheld
APP 1 - Open and transparent management of personal information

Requires a stated privacy policy committing the organization to applicable privacy legislation.

7.3.3APP-1argued against and upheld

A privacy information management system is the practices, procedures and systems APP 1.2 requires.

Requires deletion or de-identification once data is no longer necessary for the purpose.

7.4.7APP-11argued against and upheld
APP 11 - Security of personal information

Retention schedules define when data is no longer needed and must be destroyed.

APP 11 - Security of personal information

Requires documented disposal policies and techniques appropriate to the data.

5.2.4APP-11argued against and upheld
APP 11 - Security of personal information

A PIMS extending the ISMS over personal data evidences reasonable steps to protect it.

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.
