Understanding What the CCPA is and How to Effectively Apply the NIST 800-171 Security Framework.The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and NIST 800-171 designed to provide clear direction and understanding of how to implement the CCPA either in a business, agency or organization. The CCPA provides provisions specific to California residents and the companies regarding the 2018 compulsory law to protect personal information statewide. While NIST 800-series Cybersecurity publications tell a business "what" is required, they do not necessarily help in telling "how" to meet the 110 security control requirements in NIST 800-171. This book is also written to explain what the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 security controls require and how to meet them effectively for the purposes of CCPA compliance. And, will walk you and your IT staff through the security controls in enough detail to ensure a complete and "good faith" security effort has occurred.
