CCPA

California Consumer Privacy Act

CCPA At a Glance

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective Jan. 1, 2020, is the first-of-its-kind consumer privacy legislation in the United States. It gives consumers the ability to request, free of charge, information about what businesses collect about them. This includes what sources are collecting information, and for what purpose. They can also request to opt out from having their data sold, and/or request that their data be deleted. The California Attorney General enforces the law, which includes provisions for civil litigation and penalties.

Requirements

CCPA REQUIREMENTS

  • 1The CCPA applies to any business that sells products and services to Californians—and even displaying a website could count as advertising in the state. The law, however, exempts entities that have $25 million or less in revenues, collect data on fewer than 50,000 consumers, and derive less than half of their revenues from selling consumer data.
  • 2AB 375 is light on requirements around security and breach response when compared to the GDPR. Businesses are not required to report breaches under AB 375, and consumers must file complaints before fines are possible. The law does define penalties for companies that expose consumer data due to a breach or security lapse.
  • 3Businesses should know what data AB 375 defines as private data and take steps to secrure it. Any organization that complies with the GDPR likely does not need to take further action to comply with AB 375 in terms of securing data.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), organizations defined as “financial institutions” must keep customer information secure and confidential. The Safeguards Rule, one of three sections of the GLBA, was updated December 9, 2021. With this update, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) notes that an organization “engaging in an activity that is financial in nature or incidental to such financial activities” is considered a “financial institution” and must comply.

Key changes to the Safeguards Rule will take effect December 6, 2022. Who must comply with the Safeguards Rule?

Consider these examples of organizations deemed to be “financial institutions” under the Safeguards Rule:

  • Retailers extending a credit card
  • Dealerships leasing a car long term — longer than 90 days
  • Organizations appraising real estate or personal property
  • Counselors helping individuals associated with a financial institution

Critical infrastructures (KRITIS) are organizations or facilities with important significance for the state community, the failure or impairment of which would result in lasting supply bottlenecks, significant disruptions to public safety or other dramatic consequences. Which of these are to be regarded as critical infrastructures is regulated by the KRITIS Ordinance within the BSI Act.

The IT Security Act 2.0 in May 2021 added the waste management sector to the group of potential operators of critical infrastructure alongside the energy, information technology and telecommunications, transport and traffic, health, water, food, and finance and insurance sectors.

NIST CSF At a Glance

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) leverages and integrates industry-leading cybersecurity practices that have been developed by organizations like NIST and ISO. The NIST CSF comprises a risk-based compilation of guidelines that can help organizations identify, implement, and improve cybersecurity practices, and creates a common language for internal and external communication of cybersecurity issues.

The NIST CSF has the least coverage of the major cybersecurity frameworks, and therefore works best for smaller or unregulated businesses. The NIST CSF is often used as a reporting tool to report security to executive leadership, since the five high-level categories of identify, detect, protect, respond, and recover make it easier to report complex topics under this perspective.

The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is a comprehensive catalog of controls that is designed to enable companies to design, build, and maintain secure processes, systems, and applications. The SCF addresses both cybersecurity and privacy, so that these principles are designed to be “baked in” at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.

Requirements

SCF REQUIREMENTS:

  • 1The SCF's goal is to help organizations of all sizes implement these four principles of cybersecurity and privacy:
  • 2CONFIDENTIALITY - Confidentiality addresses preserving restrictions on information access and disclosure so that access is limited to only authorized users and services.
  • 3INTEGRITY - Integrity addresses the concern that sensitive data has not been modified or deleted in an unauthorized and undetected manner.
  • 4AVAILABILITY - Availability addresses ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information.
  • 5SAFETY - Safety addresses reducing risk associated with embedded technologies that could fail or be manipulated by nefarious actors.
  • 6There are thirty-two domains that make up the SCF. There are over 1,000 controls that are categorized within these domains to make it easier to manage. Each domain has a three-letter identifier, which is included in the control name to make it easy to understand what the focus of the control is.

Requirements

SOX REQUIREMENTS

  • 1Section 302 mandates that senior corporate officers personally certify in writing that the company’s financial statements “comply with SEC disclosure requirements and fairly present in all material aspects the operations and financial condition of the issuer.” Officers who sign off on financial statements that they know to be inaccurate are subject to criminal penalties, including prison terms.
  • 2Section 404 requires that management and auditors establish internal controls and reporting methods to ensure the adequacy of those controls. Some critics of the law have complained that the requirements in Section 404 can have a negative impact on publicly traded companies because it’s often expensive to establish and maintain the necessary internal controls.
  • 3Section 802 contains the three rules that affect recordkeeping. The first deals with destruction and falsification of records. The second strictly defines the retention period for storing records. The third rule outlines the specific business records that companies need to store, which includes electronic communications.
