FPF Releases Issue Brief on New CCPA Regulations for Automated Decisionmaking Technology, Risk Assessments, and Cybersecurity Audits

Since the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018, business obligations under the law have continued to evolve due to several rounds of rulemaking by both the Attorney General and the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA). The latest regulations from the CPPA are some of the most significant yet. Starting January 1, 2026, businesses will be subject to extensive new obligations concerning automated decisionmaking technology (ADMT), risk assessments, and cybersecurity audits. Today, the Future of Privacy Forum released an issue brief covering these extensive new regulations, providing stakeholders a comprehensive overview of these new legal requirements and context on how they fit into the existing state privacy law landscape.
