With the continued compliance challenges surrounding the CCPA, including the August 14, 2020 final regulations approval, companies are looking to their peers to see how they are understanding, assessing, and complying with the CCPA requirements. In May 2020, TrustArc conducted a first-ever Global Privacy Benchmarks Survey which explored ongoing privacy challenges, changes, and opportunities that have arisen in the complex world of data protection and privacy. The CCPA Readiness Market Report 2020, is one part of our overall findings from the Global Benchmarks Survey conducted by Golfdale Consulting, Inc.
Here are some key findings from the report:
CCPA Readiness. When surveyed before the deadline, three quarters of respondents (76%) believed they are very likely (36%) or somewhat likely (40%) to be ready for the July 1, 2020 enforcement date.
GDPR Prep. 82% of our respondents have leveraged their knowledge of and planning for GDPR to work through CCPA issues, particularly in the United States.
COVID-19. Leading up to the July 1st deadline, many companies were anticipating delays in implementation due to the pandemic and may have been “banking” on the California Attorney General delaying enforcement.
Challenges. When asked which elements of privacy management have been the most challenging, overwhelmingly respondents pointed to: the challenges of staying current with privacy and security regulations and managing privacy risks.
