CPPA Board Grapples with Public Concerns: Key Updates on Upcoming AI, Risk Assessment, and Cybersecurity Regulations
On April 4, 2025, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) Board met to discuss the latest draft California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations related to cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, automated decision-making technology (ADMT), and an assortment of other updates to existing regulations. These revisions come after the CPPA first released draft regulations on these topics in July 2024 and initiated the formal rulemaking in November 2024, as analyzed in a prior alert. The board meeting turned out to be quite contentious, with board member Alastair Mactaggart emphasizing some of the serious concerns raised in the unusually large volume of public comments—totaling 630 comments and 1,664 pages of feedback—expressing his own concerns that those comments lay out “the very explicit blueprints” for others to challenge the constitutionality of the draft regulations. Ultimately, the Board provided extensive feedback on the draft regulations to CPPA staff, going beyond the issues that staff had prepared for discussion.
