In anticipation of an upcoming board meeting, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) has released revised regulations concerning cybersecurity audits. This comes from a recent announcement published by Alston & Bird. The board meeting, scheduled for December 8, 2023, seeks to solicit public input on varied privacy regulations. This assembly will be done virtually using the Zoom platform.
As per its published agenda, a range of topics of interest is anticipated to be discussed. One of the focal points will be the Draft Regulations on Automated Decision-making Technology, Risk Assessments, and Cybersecurity Audits which will be updated and presented by the New CPRA Rules Subcommittee.
Apart from this key point, the meeting is also expected to address and react on proposed insurance regulations. This continues to demonstrate the CPPA’s active involvement in augmenting privacy protection policy in the context of ongoing technological advancements.
These changes to cybersecurity audit regulations offer a new addition to the CPPA’s regulatory portfolio and the opportunity for legal professionals to actively involve themselves in the policymaking process. With the advent of such revisions, all involved stakeholders should be ready to adjust their practices to align with the CPPA’s regulatory expectations.
