CCR 7124 Certify completion of the cybersecurity audit to the CPPA
For each year an audit is required, the business must submit a written certification of completion to the CPPA through its website by 1 April of the following year, signed by an executive directly responsible for audit compliance with enough knowledge and authority. It gives the business name and contact, confirms completion, states the months covered, and carries an attestation under penalty of perjury that the business did not try to influence the auditor.

Applies only to a business that meets one of the thresholds in Cal. Civ. Code 1798.140(d).
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
