TrustArc Adds CCPA Capabilities to Help Businesses Meet Upcoming January 1 Deadline

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TrustArc, the leader in privacy compliance and data protection solutions, today announced a wide range of additional capabilities to help businesses meet the January 1, 2020 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) deadline. With less than 90 days to go, many businesses still have a lot of work remaining to ensure they meet all of the requirements.

"With the breadth of global privacy mandates, compliance is no easy task," said Chris Babel, CEO, TrustArc. "The only way organizations can contend with these ever-changing requirements is by operationalizing privacy compliance at scale. To do so, they'll need the right technology, expertise, and resources to guide them. We've updated our platform with CCPA-specific capabilities to help ensure compliance by the January 1 date and to support ongoing compliance for any and all regulations now and in the future."

Research from Dimensional Research and TrustArc found that 44% of companies surveyed had not yet started or implemented their CCPA compliance process. Moreover, 64% of companies needed help developing their CCPA privacy plan, suggesting that companies lack expertise and tools built specifically for building ongoing privacy compliance practices. TrustArc's new CCPA capabilities present organizations with a framework for operationalizing not just CCPA compliance, but for all global privacy requirements.

The new capabilities include:

CCPA Platform Enhancements
The TrustArc Platform can support all global privacy requirements, including the CCPA.

• Recent updates include capabilities to address CCPA Do Not Sell requirements as well as enabling companies to efficiently manage CCPA consumer rights requests, such as having their data deleted.
• These are in addition to existing capabilities that enable companies to easily create and manage a data inventory to support the CCPA look back requirements, specialized assessments to streamline identifying CCPA gaps, and tools to automate the workflow required to remediate issues and generate compliance reports for internal and external stakeholders.
• New pricing and packaging options are now available, which make the Platform more accessible and affordable for companies of all sizes. The Platform can be deployed in as short as 1-2 days, enabling companies to be up and running well in advance of the CCPA deadline. For more information, visit CCPA Platform.
