Keypoint: Although they are only draft regulations and not part of the formal rulemaking process, the drafts demonstrate the Agency’s intent to create extensive obligations for businesses subject to these regulations.
In connection with its September 8, 2023 Board meeting, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“Agency”) published draft regulations on risk assessments and cybersecurity audits. The drafts were provided as meeting materials for a CPRA rules subcommittee update.
