Many organizations have spent substantial resources to ensure internal compliance with GDPR and will spend even more to comply with the CCPA in the coming year. According to an economic impact study commissioned by the California Department of Finance, the initial costs to American businesses could exceed $55 billion, with some organizations spending $2 million or more to ensure their operations follow the new privacy regulations.
