Strengthening the Consumer Privacy practices is gaining momentum. California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (also known as "CCPA") is just the beginning of the journey that will lay down a series of practices and standards that will strengthen data protection for consumers, in general.

If you are a business that collects and/or determines the processing of personal information of consumers/household, you probably need to assess your readiness well in time to protect your business. We established a brief survey that can help you assess the readiness and maturity of your business to survive the new consumer privacy regulations.
