Consumer Data
for CCPA
Stress-Free CCPA Compliance
Consumers regularly agree to share their personal information with the understanding that this information will be protected. More companies are now legally required to get explicit user consent to gather—or keep—a user’s personal data, show what has been gathered, and offer the opportunity to delete personal data on request, all to create a higher standard for consent.
Different laws and mandates around the world have been pushing for this higher standard. In the United States, this standard has emerged as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Under CCPA, Californians have the right to know what personal data businesses collect and store and have the additional right to dictate if their data will be sold elsewhere. The mandate was further strengthened by the California Privacy Rights Act, which goes into effect in 2023. PKWARE can help you protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) now and well into the future.

No Matter
Where It Is
Files with PII are sometimes shared in inappropriate locations and with unauthorized parties, creating compliance gaps and exposing your business to risk. Close the loop with PK Discovery, which can locate every place sensitive personal data is stored, whether structured, semi-structured, or unstructured.
