The California requirement model is easier to run when it is grouped into control domains and each domain has a named owner and evidence output. ## Baseline California domains The baseline domains cover scope, notice architecture, rights workflows, GPC or opt out preference signals, recordkeeping, and recipient contracts. Every in scope business starts here. - Threshold and exemption analysis with annual review - Notice at collection, privacy policy, and opt out notice controls - Delete, correct, know, opt out, and limit workflows as applicable - 24 month request and response recordkeeping ## CPRA specific domains The second layer covers SPI, sharing, contractor and third party terms, due diligence, and notice details that became more important under the amended regime. - SPI classification and right to limit logic - Sharing and cross context advertising governance - Service provider, contractor, and third party clauses with enforcement rights - Due diligence and documentation showing the business did not ignore misuse risk ## 2026 assurance domains The latest California rules add or clarify risk assessments, cybersecurity audits, ADMT related duties, and new data broker workflows. - Risk assessment triggers, report content, and update timing - Cybersecurity audit thresholds, evidence, and reporting cycle - ADMT and related processing controls where the rules apply - Data broker registration and DROP obligations where relevant *Recommended next step* *Placement: after the requirement breakdown* ## Turn California CPRA Requirements into an operational assessment Assessment Autopilot can take California CPRA Requirements from turning the requirements into assigned actions to a reusable workflow inside Sorena.
