CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing
Security testing for California privacy law compliance
What this engagement covers
The service
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) require businesses to implement reasonable security measures to protect consumer personal information. Our CCPA/CPRA penetration testing validates your security controls and provides evidence of compliance with California privacy requirements.
What we test
We assess all systems collecting, processing, or storing California consumer personal information including web applications, mobile apps, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure. Testing covers data access controls, consumer rights request mechanisms, data deletion processes, and opt-out implementations.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing.
Attack Surface & Vulnerability Vectors

Missing Opt-Out Mechanism Implementation
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Missing Opt-Out Mechanism Implementation across your CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Insufficient Access Controls on Consumer Data
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Insufficient Access Controls on Consumer Data across your CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Third-Party Data Sharing Without Safeguards
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Third-Party Data Sharing Without Safeguards across your CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Missing Data Inventory and Classification
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Missing Data Inventory and Classification across your CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Our methodology focuses on the technical security measures required under CCPA §1798.150 and CPRA amendments. We test for personal information exposure, validate consumer rights implementations, assess data minimization practices, and evaluate the security of data sharing with third parties and service providers.
Personal information scope identification
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting personal information scope identification across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Data access control and authorization testing
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting data access control and authorization testing across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Consumer rights request mechanism testing
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting consumer rights request mechanism testing across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Data deletion and correction verification
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting data deletion and correction verification across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Opt-out implementation validation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting opt-out implementation validation across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Third-party data sharing security assessment
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting third-party data sharing security assessment across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
Data minimization practice evaluation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting data minimization practice evaluation across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
CCPA/CPRA evidence documentation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting ccpa/cpra evidence documentation across your ccpa/cpra penetration testing deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- CCPA/CPRA-aligned security assessment report
- Personal information exposure analysis
- Consumer rights mechanism testing results
- Data flow and sharing security evaluation
- Vendor and service provider security assessment
- Opt-out mechanism validation
- Remediation guidance for compliance
- Retest validation report
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1 | Technical evaluation and testing evidence fulfilling vulnerability management and access control testing requirements for CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 | Management of technical vulnerabilities through objective, independent assessment of CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing. |
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 | Penetration testing evidence and remediation verification satisfying annual audit validation requirements. |
Findings are mapped to CCPA, CPRA, NIST Privacy Framework, ISO 27701, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our CCPA/CPRA Penetration Testing service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: CCPA/CPRA-aligned security assessment report, Personal information exposure analysis, Consumer rights mechanism testing results, Data flow and sharing security evaluation, Vendor and service provider security assessment. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to CCPA, CPRA, NIST Privacy Framework, ISO 27701 control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 1-2 weeks, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $9,000. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
