California’s cybersecurity audit rules

Last reviewed . This section summarizes state law and is not legal advice.

  • Annual cybersecurity audits

    The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) requires larger companies that hold significant California data to complete an independent cybersecurity audit every year. First reports are due between 2028 and 2030, depending on revenue.

    Northwind runs the security controls an auditor reviews and keeps the evidence ready.

  • Automated decision-making tools

    From January 1, 2027, CPPA rules also govern automated tools that make significant decisions about people, and they require a risk assessment for each.

    Northwind identifies the automated tools you use and prepares what each risk assessment needs.

Questions about managed IT in California

(208) 424-0125Book a consultation
Does Northwind provide managed IT services in Los Angeles and Orange County?

Yes. Los Angeles and Orange County businesses reach our help desk on Pacific hours, and technicians travel to their offices for on-site work.

What IT support does a smaller California firm need?

Northwind starts a smaller firm with managed devices, protected accounts and monitored backups. The CPPA audit rarely applies at that size, and we confirm that against your numbers.

Does the California CPPA cybersecurity audit apply to us?

No, unless you pass the CCPA revenue line and hold data on 250,000 Californians or sensitive data on 50,000, or earn half your revenue from selling data.

Can Northwind perform the California cybersecurity audit?

No. The audit has to be independent. We run the controls and keep the evidence ready for your auditor.
