APPI Compliance Audit

Scope note: this is the general-purpose APPI checklist, usable for any Japan-based organization handling personal information — not the recruiter-specific one (see the separate Japan Recruiter Personal Information checklist for Employment Security Act / Worker Dispatch Act / My Number Act items layered on top of APPI for that industry). This checklist focuses on APPI's own distinctive mechanics — purpose notification, data subject rights, third-party and cross-border provision, and PPC breach reporting — since general technical security controls (Art. 23's "necessary and appropriate measures") are already covered in depth by the Windows Endpoint, M365/Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Infrastructure & Application Security checklists in this portal. Governance-layer items (risk register, formal policy documents, DPO-equivalent designation where used) stay in your GRC platform.
