Establishing a California Consumer Privacy Act Compliance Program

As stated in our previous blog, complying with the CCPA requires a strategic approach that covers all stages of planning, analysis, implementation, and quality assurance.

A comprehensive compliance program includes all of the following:

PLANNING

  • Impact analysis, as well as business case and roadmap development
  • Identify the project work streams
  • Establish the program governance model
  • Create the detailed project plans, risk logs, and escalation mechanisms

ANALYSIS

  • Document the process, data, and technical requirements
  • Customer personal data current state analysis
  • Future state requirement definition
  • Identification of gaps vs. future state
  • Required changes to policies and procedures

IMPLEMENTATION

  • Define the overall solution architecture
  • Changes to process and data flows
  • Consolidate the consumer personal data
  • Changes to data retention and deletion processes
  • Develop the approvals and workflows to manage customer personal data
  • Data security upgrades

QUALITY ASSURANCE

  • Develop the test plan and test cases
  • Test automation
  • Integration and user acceptance testing
  • Support for compliance testing before the deadline
