“Be Prepared!”
Almost 110 years ago to the day, Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, coined a phrase that still resonates profoundly today. For whether you were a member of Baden-Powell's movement or not, the advice to "be prepared" should be your mantra if you are working in or with Californian customers, thanks to the, now active California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) data privacy regulations.
The cost of a privacy breach
Although CCPA went live on January 1st, there is still some time left to get ready for compliance before the regulation is given teeth (June 1st) and mitigate the risk of potentially heavy penalties that non-compliance could entail - $2500 per record for non-intentional violations and $7500 per record for intentional violations, not to mention the fallout from reputational damage. A breach that includes thousands of records could, therefore, easily result in multi-million-dollar penalties.
