Corporations may be crossing their collective fingers as the California Consumer Privacy Act’s (CCPA) July 1, 2020, enforcement deadline continues to inch closer. Exterro’s Annual Study of Legal Spend Management was released last week in conjunction with the Blickstein Group and Corporate Counsel Business Journal, and the results indicate that organizations may not be putting their money where their mouths are when it comes to privacy compliance goals.
