CCR 7157 Submit risk assessment information and attestation to the CPPA

Routine submissions are not the full reports. For assessments carried out during 2026 and 2027 the submission is due by 1 April 2028, and for later years by 1 April of the following year: its name and contact, the period covered, the number of assessments done or updated in total and per trigger, which categories of personal and sensitive information they involved, and an attestation under penalty of perjury by a responsible executive with sufficient knowledge and authority, filed via the CPPA website. Full risk assessment reports go to the CPPA or the Attorney General only when either demands them, within 30 calendar days of the request.

Applies only to a business that meets one of the thresholds in Cal. Civ. Code 1798.140(d).

where the evidence lives
teal = a system already holds it · olive = produced at each review. To go live: easy when half or more of the artefacts are already held by a system, moderate from a quarter to a half, hard below a quarter.

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.

First move

No system holds this evidence for you: it is people and documents. Reminders and routing to the owner still save time. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date.
