Inside CalPrivacy’s First Sectoral Audit: What Privacy Teams Need to Know

August 18, 2026

What CalPrivacy’s First Audit Means for Privacy Teams

CalPrivacy’s first-ever sectoral audit marks an important shift from privacy regulation on paper to privacy programs being tested in practice.

In this session, Mine Chief Trust Officer Ron De Jesus sits down with Sabrina Ross, Chief Privacy Auditor at CalPrivacy, to discuss what the audit means for privacy teams, what regulators are actually looking for, and how organizations can prepare.

The conversation explores the gap between having privacy processes in place and being able to demonstrate that those processes are working - including the data, documentation, and evidence organizations need to support their compliance posture.

The session concludes with a live Q&A.
