The CCPA/CPRA to GDPR crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which GDPR controls your existing CCPA/CPRA work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
Coverage does not run both ways. CCPA/CPRA into GDPR lands at 32.5%, while GDPR into CCPA/CPRA lands at 56.7%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your CCPA/CPRA evidence buys you for GDPR, the other asks the reverse.
13 of 40 GDPR controls are evidenced by work you have already done for CCPA/CPRA. 27 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Requires categories, purposes, retention and a policy link presented before collection.
Grounded in CCR §7012 Notice at Collection Drafting Requirements. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Process personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences, or related security measures, only under the control of official authority or where Union or Member State law authorises the processing and provides appropriate...
Every one of the 13 evidenced controls and 27 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
17 of 30 CCPA/CPRA controls are evidenced by work you have already done for GDPR. 13 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Adds the categories of personal data concerned, the element the collection notice needs.
Grounded in GDPR-Art.14 Information where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
A business's collection, use, retention and sharing of a consumer's personal information must be reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or processed, or for another disclosed purpose...
Every one of the 17 evidenced controls and 13 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 90% in the header counts how many CCPA/CPRA controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many GDPR controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.
