Japan APPI
Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information — recently strengthened with cross-border transfer and data subject right obligations.
Personal Information Handling Business Operators with personal information of data subjects in Japan.
Continuous evidence pipeline available; audit support included for all customers.
What APPI actually requires.
These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.
Notification of leakage to PPC and affected data subjects.
Cross-border transfer requires consent or equivalent measures.
Pseudonymously processed information regime.
Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.
Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.
PPC notification timer and template.
Cross-border transfer register with APPI-specific safeguards.
Artifacts your auditor accepts.
Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.
Breach register with PPC notifications.
Cross-border transfer register.
One evidence base. Many regulators.
These frameworks share substantial control overlap with APPI. Customers running one assessment typically satisfy the others with the same evidence base.
