CCPA Compliance Engineering
Your Compliance Dashboard Says You're Exposed. Now What?
We turn compliance gaps into deployed infrastructure — deletion pipelines, consent enforcement, and audit-ready controls — in weeks, not quarters.
- Covers CCPA, DELETE Act, ADMT & cybersecurity audit Every active and upcoming California privacy regulation in one engagement
- Deploys into AWS, GCP, or Azure — your choice Infrastructure-as-code deployed to your cloud, reviewed by your team
- No lock-in — your stacks, your cloud, your codebase You own every line of code. No proprietary platform. No recurring SaaS fee.
// gap report delivered in 48 hours
// the enforcement timeline
California isn't waiting. Neither is CalPrivacy.
$7,988 per consumer. Per violation. No cap.
// one failed deletion request across your user base is not one fine. it's one fine per person.
// what we do
The implementation layer between your compliance platform and your cloud.
The Assessment.
We audit two things: your compliance gaps and your infrastructure readiness. Where is PII actually stored? What's your deployment process? Do you have IaC, CI/CD, staging environments? The gap report maps regulations to your real stack — not a generic checklist. Delivered in 48 hours.
The Deployment.
Every module is scoped to your specific infrastructure — your cloud provider, your data stores, your deployment workflow. We deploy to staging first, validate with your team, and roll out with circuit breakers and rollback plans. No surprises in production.
The Monitor.
Automated drift detection, quarterly reviews, and stack updates as new regulations phase in. ADMT transparency mandates hit January 2027 — we keep you ahead of every deadline on the enforcement calendar.
// what this looks like in your codebase
const pipeline = new CcpaDeletePipeline("user-deletion", { dataStores: ["rds-prod", "s3-user-data", "dynamodb-events"], regulation: Regulation.CCPA_DELETE_ACT, auditLog: AuditLog.CLOUDWATCH, }); const consent = new ConsentSignalProcessor("gpc-handler", { signals: [Signal.GPC, Signal.OPT_OUT], propagateTo: ["analytics", "email-provider", "ad-platform"], });
// the SOC 2 bridge
You already did SOC 2. Five modules finish the job for CCPA.
Most mid-market companies have already invested in SOC 2 compliance. That work isn't wasted — it's the foundation. Two of these modules extend controls you already have. Three are purpose-built for California privacy law.
// extends your SOC 2 investment
Cybersecurity Audit Evidence
~70% from SOC 2Your SOC 2 controls already cover access management, encryption, and audit logging. We deploy the CCPA-specific extensions — deletion verification evidence, consent enforcement proof, and privacy-specific access logging — mapped to California's mandatory cybersecurity audit requirements.
Data Inventory & Flow Mapping
~40% from SOC 2const inventory = new DataFlowMap(stack, { sources: ["api-gateway", "webhook-ingest"], stores: ["rds-prod", "s3-pii", "redis-sessions"], sinks: ["analytics-vendor", "email-provider"], });
Your SOC 2 asset inventory is a starting point. We extend it into a full personal-data flow map — where PII enters, where it's stored, and where it leaves your infrastructure — version-controlled and current as your architecture evolves. Not a stale Confluence diagram.
// purpose-built for CCPA
DSAR Automation Pipeline
End-to-end subject access & deletion requests. Connects to your data stores, verifies identity, orchestrates deletion across services, and generates audit-ready confirmation — replacing the $1,524/request manual process.
Consent Signal Processing
Captures Global Privacy Control signals and opt-out requests at the edge, stores consent state, and propagates preferences downstream to every service that touches consumer data. No manual consent spreadsheets.
ADMT Risk Assessment Framework
If your product uses automated decision-making — recommendations, scoring, filtering, ranking — you need risk assessments and opt-out mechanisms by January 2027. We deploy the documentation framework and technical controls tied to your actual system architecture.
// the difference
Vanta and Drata monitor your compliance posture. We deploy the fixes.
They monitor
- Dashboard shows gaps
- Generates compliance checklists
- Collects evidence
- You still need engineers to fix it
We deploy
- Infrastructure-as-code in your cloud
- Automated deletion pipelines
- DSAR processing workflows
- Audit-ready infrastructure, running
// why us
Why Us
- We operate inside regulated data infrastructure daily. Not advisors who study compliance from the outside. We run production systems under CCPA, the DELETE Act, and SOC 2 Type II — the same regulations we implement for you.
- SOC 2 Type II to CCPA is a bridge, not a rebuild. We've done both. We know exactly which controls carry over, which need extending, and which are purpose-built. Your SOC 2 investment isn't wasted — it's the foundation.
- DELETE Act compliance from the inside out. We've built the deletion pipelines, the 45-day check cycles, the data matching infrastructure. This isn't theoretical — it's what we ship.
- Fixed-price engagements, not open-ended retainers. A privacy engineer is $145–200K/year if you can find one. You get the same deployed controls for a fraction of that, with a defined scope and timeline.
// how we deliver
Proprietary tooling. Engineer-reviewed output. Your environment, your controls.
Automated discovery
Our infrastructure scanners enumerate your cloud resources, analyze database schemas, and classify PII fields — in hours, not weeks. An engineer reviews every finding before it informs the engagement scope.
Codegen, not copy-paste
Internal tooling generates client-specific deletion queries, vendor integration adapters, and evidence collectors based on your discovered architecture. Every line is reviewed, tested in staging, and delivered as a PR your team can read.
Continuous drift detection
After deployment, automated monitors check your compliance controls for configuration drift, new unclassified data stores, and regulatory changes. Alerts route to an engineer — not a dashboard you have to watch.
// all tooling runs against read-only access. nothing writes to your environment without engineer review and your team's approval.
// common questions
Before you ask.
We don't use infrastructure-as-code yet.
Most of our clients don't. If you're deploying through the AWS console or have a handful of scripts, that's normal for a 50–500 person company. The assessment identifies your current deployment maturity, and we stand up the IaC foundation (project structure, state management, CI/CD pipeline) using whatever tooling fits your stack. This adds scope, but it means the compliance modules are maintainable and version-controlled from day one — not another set of scripts nobody understands in six months.
Our production environment is fragile. We deploy cautiously.
Good — that tells us you take production seriously. We never deploy directly to production without staging validation first. Every module ships with circuit breakers, rate limiting, and rollback plans. Data discovery scans run against read replicas or snapshots, not your primary database. Deletion pipelines execute in off-peak windows with per-record confirmation. If your deploy process has change windows and approval gates, we work within them.
We haven't done SOC 2 yet.
The modules work standalone — SOC 2 isn't a prerequisite. You just won't have the overlap head start, which means the engagement scope is larger. The cybersecurity audit evidence module builds the full control set from scratch instead of extending existing controls. Some companies use this as an opportunity to tackle both SOC 2 and CCPA together, since the infrastructure investment covers both.
How customized is this to our specific stack?
Fully. A company on AWS with Postgres has a completely different DSAR pipeline than one on GCP with Firestore. The assessment maps your specific data stores, services, and third-party integrations. Each module is scoped and built against your architecture — not a generic template dropped into your environment. You get a PR into your repo with code your team can read, review, and maintain.
We're mostly on managed platforms (Heroku, Railway, Vercel).
Managed platforms simplify some things (less infrastructure to wrangle) but complicate others (less control over data residency, deletion verification, audit logging). The assessment identifies what's achievable within your platform's constraints and where you might need to pull specific services into a cloud account you control. We'll be direct about what your platform can and can't support — not every company needs to migrate off Heroku, but some data flows might require it.
What IaC tooling do you use?
Whatever fits your stack. If you're already on Terraform, we write Terraform. If you use Pulumi or CDK, we use that. If you have nothing, we recommend based on your team's language preferences and cloud provider. The compliance logic is the same regardless of tooling — the implementation adapts to your environment, not the other way around.
What do we own when the engagement ends?
Everything. The code lives in your repo. The infrastructure runs in your cloud account. The documentation is in your systems. There's no CtrlDeploy license, no SaaS subscription, no dependency on us to keep it running. The monitoring retainer is optional — it covers drift detection and regulatory updates as new enforcement deadlines phase in, but the deployed infrastructure is yours regardless.
