The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) is set to take effect in 2023, requiring businesses operating in Virginia to comply with new data protection mandates. To prepare, businesses should first assess whether they fall under the jurisdiction of VCDPA, and then update their privacy policies, conduct data mapping, and form a compliance team. Additionally, businesses should educate employees on data protection, conduct regular data protection assessments, ensure third-party vendors are compliant, and consult legal advisors. By taking these proactive steps, businesses can minimize the risk of non-compliance and penalties.
