PrivacyOps: Rethinking Privacy Compliance as CCPA Becomes Reality

Our guest Heidi Shey, Principal Analyst from Forrester Research and Rehan Jalil, CEO of securiti.ai discussed the impact of these new privacy regulations as well as best practices to enable your organization to effectively comply with CCPA.

CCPA is believed to be the most comprehensive privacy compliance regulation the US has ever seen. In the spirit of GDPR, CCPA provides broad rights to consumers over their personal data held by corporations, including the rights of access, control and consent. Expected to impact over 500,000 companies, CCPA will challenge traditional compliance practices that have been primarily anchored around surveys and assessments. This is a prime opportunity for companies to explore automating privacy compliance, which can not only reduce cost and complexity, but can also provide a business advantage through building a trusted relationship with consumers. Similar to the DevOps framework for agile software development, PrivacyOps is a modern approach for operationalizing privacy across the many organizational silos in an automated framework. ‍
