Job Description:

TEKsystems is looking for a business process analyst to support and bring our client's guest fulfillment product into compliance w/multiple security mandates driven by the government -GDPR and CCPA (more notes in business challenge around GDPR vs CCPA and how it' going to impact USA overall)

CCPA overview:

Businesses have a track record of using personal information to benefit their own agenda: the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will serve to protect California consumer rights and encourage stronger privacy and greater transparency overall. It will give consumers ownership, control, and security over their personal information – and consumers will have the ability to request that any business disclose (and delete) the personal information that it collects, and request that their data not be sold to third parties

The California Consumer Privacy Act defines a business as a for-profit entity that collects consumer personal data. So, if you're a business in the state of California that meets at least one of the following thresholds, you may be subject to compliance:

Businesses that earn $25,000,000 or more a year in revenue

Businesses that annually buy, receive, sell or share personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households or devices for commercial purposes

Business that derive 50% or more of its annual revenue from selling consumer personal information

Under the CCPA, California citizens will have the ability to bring a civil action lawsuit against companies that do not abide by the law. The state can also bring these charges to a company directly — charging a $7,500 fine for any violation that is not addressed within 30 days.

Who is the Internal/External Customer:

The client's legal and technology teams

Impact to the Internal/External Customer:

Internal: Under CCPA/GDPR law companies have to be compliant/prepared, if not addressed in 30 days there will be a civil action lawsuit/fine

External: Protect consumer PII

Business Challenge:

This Role will support the GDPR/CCPA program compliance. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, an EU mandate regarding the privacy and security of EU citizen's data. The initial deadline for compliance to GDPR was May 25th, 2018. The penalty for not being compliant or having a defensible plan of reconciliation is a fine of 4% of the company's global revenue. CCPA (California consumer privacy act) is an American version/evolution of GDPR. It went into effect in California on Jan 2020. More states are to follow and companies MUST start doing this now in order to protect themselves from potential civil lawsuits/and fines.

Governments are beginning to take data privacy very seriously. Like the GDPR, the CCPA will have far-reaching impacts across state jurisdictions. And, although the CCPA just went into effect, we've learned from the GDPR that there isn't a lot of time to become compliant. It's important to start preparing now: being prepared will save a company a lot of headaches (and costly enforcement actions) in the future. Meeting subject access requests – whether for GDPR, CCPA, or another regulation – can be especially difficult to achieve: you need to be able to identify content related to a data subject, classify and protect consumer data, and sometimes even delete upon request.
