The CCPA Requirements Guide automatically assesses whether a business falls within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and, if so, determines which requirements the employer needs to meet when handling employee data.

#### Background

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) creates new consumer rights relating to the access to, deletion of, and sharing of personal information that is collected by businesses. Recent amendments to the CCPA not only introduce new obligations but also carve out some of the direct provisions that impact California employers. As businesses are increasing their efforts to comply with the strict CCPA requirements and are preparing CCPA privacy notices and disclosures, employee data and its handling maintains a focal point for employers. The new amendments specify which obligations California employers need to satisfy and which employee information falls within the scope of the CCPA, introducing a limited moratorium for specific types of worker data. For California employers, navigating through the obligations that apply to employee data and the requirements that need to be satisfied when mapping, collecting, storing and using this data can be an onerous and time-consuming task. But compliance with these requirements is essential also from a risk mitigation point of view. The private right of action, as created by the CCPA, bears great risk to infringing businesses as data breaches can lead to substantial statutory damages.

With BRYTER, law firms can build an automated CCPA Requirements Guide which determines whether a business falls within the scope of the CCPA and which legal obligations it needs to meet to mitigate any risks. To start the assessment, our [risk and compliance](https://bryter.com/team/risk-and-compliance/) tool guides the user through a series of questions and the answers to which determine the scope and obligations the particular business needs to comply with under the CCPA. As a result, detailed guidance tailored to the business’ specifications is given to provide the user with clear next steps. Due to the open architecture of the BRYTER platform, the embedded modular logic of the tool can easily be amended to account for any changes in the law.
