Where they overlap<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGDPR Article 32 and CCPA \u00a71798.150 both demand reasonable security. The overlap is wider than most teams assume \u2014 by our count, 71% of obligations have a clean cross-walk.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoth regimes require a documented lawful purpose, an accessible disclosure to data subjects, the right to access personal data, the right to deletion (subject to exceptions), and a defensible breach response. The vocabulary differs; the underlying controls do not.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe implication for program design is that 71% of your control library should be regime-neutral. Tag each control with the obligations it satisfies, then let the workflow engine resolve which evidence to generate at runtime.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Where they diverge<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDivergence sits in lawful basis, data subject rights timelines, and breach notification thresholds. These are the surfaces that require regulation-specific logic in the workflow.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLawful basis is the largest divergence. GDPR requires one of six explicit bases (consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, legitimate interests) recorded at point of collection. CCPA presumes a ‘business purpose’ defined more loosely and rebalances the burden toward consumer notice rather than upfront justification.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tData subject rights timelines differ materially. GDPR mandates response within one month, extendable by two. CCPA mandates 45 days, extendable by 45. Workflow SLAs should be set to the shorter clock by default; do not maintain two timers for the same request type.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
