Service Overview

 

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) establishes comprehensive rights for California residents and obligations for for-profit businesses handling their personal information. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), effective January 1, 2023, amended and expanded the CCPA, adding new rights (e.g., correct and limit use of sensitive personal information), clarifying “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, and empowering a dedicated regulator, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA). CCPA originally took effect January 1, 2020; CPRA enforcement began July 1, 2023.

CCPA/CPRA compliance safeguards the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information (PI) through administrative, technical, and contractual controls, while building trust, reducing liability, and strengthening your overall security posture.

Partnering with RSI Security ensures you align with current regulations, meet regulator expectations, and embed privacy by design across your business.

Strengthen Compliance

 

Achieving and maintaining CCPA/CPRA compliance is an ongoing program, not a one-time project. It requires continuous monitoring of data handling and disclosures, robust consumer-rights operations, and strong third-party contracts. We help you implement “frictionless” opt-outs (including Global Privacy Control support), maintain accurate records, and operationalize privacy across teams.

Independent Validation

Policies on paper aren’t enough. RSI Security performs objective assessments of your administrative, technical, and contractual safeguards to validate alignment with CCPA/CPRA requirements and CPPA regulations.

Aligned With California Standards

We implement and sustain compliance with CCPA/CPRA, including rights to know, delete, correct, opt-out of sale and sharing, limit use/disclosure of sensitive PI, and equal treatment, supported by required notices and disclosures.

Essential for Consumer Trust

Compliance reduces regulatory, litigation, and reputational risk, and demonstrates your commitment to responsible data practices.

Who Benefits Most from CCPA/CPRA Services?

  • Retail & eCommerce: Sites using advertising/analytics that “sell or share” PI.

  • Technology & Adtech:  Cross-context behavioral advertising, data monetization, SDKs.

  • Financial, Healthcare, and Professional Services: Complex vendor ecosystems and sensitive PI.

  • B2B Providers: “Business associates”/contractors with access to consumer PI.

  • Franchises & Multi-Brand Portfolios:  Shared branding and centralized platforms.

If you meet any “business” thresholds, e.g., >$26.625M in prior-year revenue (2025 CPI-adjusted), buy/sell/share PI of ≥100,000 consumers or households, or ≥50% of revenue from selling or sharing PI, CCPA/CPRA likely applies.

How to Secure CCPA/CPRA Compliance in Five Steps

Scoping

cdss

Identify where PI is collected, used, sold, shared, or disclosed, including sensitive PI and data flows to service providers, contractors, and third parties. Map systems, cookies/SDKs, and signals (e.g., GPC).

Implementation

cdss

Stand up/update notices (website/app notice at collection, privacy policy), “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” and “Limit the Use of My Sensitive PI” links, consent UX for minors, and mechanisms to process opt-out preference signals. Deploy access controls, retention schedules, and DSAR workflows.

Assessment Preparation

cdss

Run a readiness review and evidence collection; verify cookie/SDK configurations, consent/opt-out logs, and vendor contracts that restrict processing to permitted purposes.

Validation Assessment

cdss

Undergo a full CCPA/CPRA program assessment. RSI validates controls and documentation, and provides corrective action plans aligned to regulator expectations.

Ongoing Monitoring

cdss

Maintain annual privacy policy updates, test DSAR SLAs (45 days + one 45-day extension when necessary), retrain staff, and re-evaluate vendors and tracking technologies as your stack evolves.

How CCPA/CPRA Consultants Are Different

While some firms deliver a one-time gap analysis, a qualified CCPA/CPRA partner supports program build, remediation, and continuous improvement. At RSI Security, we:

  • Conduct full risk and gap assessments against CCPA/CPRA and CPPA regs.

  • Provide technical testing (web/app privacy tests, cookie/SDK audits, network pen tests, and vulnerability scanning) to verify real-world behavior.

  • Deliver privacy awareness training for DSAR handling, marketing/analytics teams, and engineers.

  • Integrate compliance into BAU with KPIs, audit trails, and change management.

This holistic approach ensures privacy isn’t a checkbox—it’s a durable part of your culture.

Preparation & Readiness

We perform risk analyses and readiness reviews to identify vulnerabilities in your data flows and disclosures. We align notices, DSAR processes, opt-out/limit mechanisms, and vendor contracts before any CPPA inquiry or AG activity.

Assessment

Our experts evaluate your program against statutory and regulatory requirements, validate documentation and UX, and provide prioritized remediation guidance, keeping you aligned as enforcement evolves (including recent seven-figure fines).

Ongoing Compliance

Compliance is continuous: periodic risk assessments, DSAR QA, link/UX testing, vendor re-papering, and staff training. We help you stay ahead of rule updates, guidance, and enforcement trends.

Why Choose CCPA/CPRA Compliance?

Non-compliance can lead to:

  • Administrative fines up to $7,988 per violation for 2025 (CPI-adjusted), or $2,663 for non-intentional violations; higher when involving consumers under 16.

  • Private lawsuits for certain security breaches: $107–$799 statutory damages per consumer per incident in 2025 (CPI-adjusted), or actual damages, whichever is greater.

  • No guaranteed 30-day cure under CPRA (discretionary, except limited security-incident context).

  • Reputational harm and costly remediation (e.g., re-consent, contract re-papering, system changes).

Working with RSI Security demonstrates your commitment to consumer privacy, reduces risk, and strengthens long-term trust.
