From official material to a working record
Official material sets the basis
Official California material sets out the subjects and records relevant to a privacy risk assessment.
The tool prepares the operational record
The preflight makes every supported field and evidence gap visible in one consistent, reviewable record.
Official sources stay visible
Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

What information does the ccpa risk assessment checklist and preflight need?
