Bird Rock Systems Takes Punta Mita, Mexico!

California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Questions You Should Ask
What is the CPRA? CPRA is the amended law of the CCPA. The CPRA amendments to the CCPA are in effect as of January 1st, 2023. As of January 1, 2023, consumers have new rights in addition to those placed in 2018.
Does CPRA apply to me? Yes, if you have employees in California and if your company made over $25 million in revenue. Does not apply to nonprofit or government organizations.
How can Bird Rock Systems help me? The CPRA mandates that organizations that process personal information in a manner that “presents a significant risk to its consumers’ privacy or security” perform an annual cybersecurity audit and submit it to the California Privacy Protection Agency; CPPA). This audit must be independent and thorough according to the law.
The CPRA also requires organizations to conduct regular risk assessments to evaluate the privacy risks created by their processing activities. One of the factors that can be used to evaluate a processing activity is the use of consumers’ sensitive personal data.
Bird Rock Systems can help you prepare for Cybersecurity Audits and organize regular Risk Assessments as a reliable third-party cybersecurity partner. We can support you through the process and provide all necessary data for stakeholders. For more information, please contact our team or your Bird Rock Systems rep.
