  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No response anywhere returned application/problem+json; errors are bare {"message":"..."}
    strings or plain text.

    NSW LRS appears nowhere in the RESO certified-organizations list at
    https://www.reso.org/certificates/ (HTTP 200, 416,233 bytes, zero Australian entries). Expected
    for Australia, where RESO is a North American NAR construct with no adoption.

  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    The NSW jurisdictional vocabulary is the ICSM ePlan CIF / LandXML schema plus the published
    NSW LRS glossary (vocabulary/nsw-land-registry-glossary.yml), not the RESO Data Dictionary. No
    Universal Property Identifier is used; NSW keys land on the Torrens folio identifier derived
    from lot and plan number.
compliance_program:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No trust centre, no SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS or IRAP certification claim was found on any NSW
    LRS host; probe-security-programs.py returned no verified trust-centre or vulnerability-
    disclosure hit on 2026-07-26. NSW LRS's public assurance posture is regulatory (Office of the
    Registrar General oversight, ECNL compliance) rather than a published security certification.
