On August 29, 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”) Board issued draft regulations on Risk Assessment and Cybersecurity Audit (the “Draft Regulations”). The CPPA Board will discuss the Draft Regulations during a public meeting on September 8, 2023.
In issuing the Draft Regulations, the CPPA Board makes clear that it has not yet started the formal rulemaking process for cybersecurity audits, risk assessments or automated decision-making technology, and that these Draft Regulations are intended to facilitate Board and public discussion and are subject to further changes. Nevertheless, the Draft Regulations provide insights into the type of requirements companies may be expected to comply with in the future.
