As the clock winds down to the Jan. 1 effective date for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), 100 polled compliance practitioners in a joint survey conducted by Compliance Week and ACA Aponix are feeling largely uncertain about their company’s preparedness for the nation’s first modern data privacy statute.
While 21 percent of respondents said they feel “very confident” they’ll be able to meet the new requirements on Day 1, the largest proportion of the group—39 percent—reported feeling only “somewhat confident.” More concerningly, a combined 40 percent of respondents feel either “uncertain” (32 percent) or “not confident at all” (8 percent) their organization will be ready come New Year’s Day.
