# California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Discover and secure customer records in minutes, not months, with instant clarity.

## CCPA Compliance Challenges

### Hidden Customer Data

Shadow data in email, SaaS, and file shares makes it hard to find all customer data.

### Expensive Data Subject Requests

Manually processing data subject requests costs over $1500 per requests, draining resources.

### No Retention Control

Lack of automation leads to over-retention and risk of non-compliance with CCPA/CPRA rules.

## FAQs

##### How does Lightbeam help satisfy the CCPA right to know and deletion requests?

Lightbeam keeps a live map of every spot your customers’ personal data lives, tied to each identity and retention rule. When a data subject request hits, the platform verifies the requester, searches connected systems, gathers matching files, redacts non‑subject data, and packages the response in the required format, no spreadsheets, no ticket chasing.

##### Can Lightbeam measure CCPA risk without moving file contents to the cloud?

Yes. The Lightbeam Platform architecture lets you run the full platform on‑premises or in a private cloud, keeping sensitive content behind your firewall. Its AI models process metadata on your infrastructure, generate context‑rich risk scores, and send only anonymized findings to the dashboard. Nothing leaves your environment unless you choose to export a report.

##### Does Risk Scoring automatically revoke access to meet least‑privilege under CCPA?

Risk Scoring highlights which files or users present the greatest content‑based exposure, but it does not change permissions on its own. Security teams can pair a score threshold with Lightbeam’s policy engine to trigger access revocation or redaction. This keeps you in control while still enforcing least‑privilege requirements for CCPA audits.
