PPCDA Vendor Requirements

PPCDA is a tabled federal privacy bill that strengthens expectations around vendor oversight. This page outlines the operational, security, and deletion evidence organizations would need to demonstrate if PPCDA passes.

Vendor policies aren’t enough — regulators increasingly expect proof of how vendors handle access, deletion, and security in practice.

What PPCDA Would Require from Vendors If Passed

Deletion Evidence

Vendors would need to provide verifiable deletion confirmations, including logs, timestamps, and workflow proof.

Access Control Proof

Evidence of role‑based access, permission reviews, and enforcement of least‑privilege access.

Security Posture

Security questionnaires, SOC reports, vulnerability disclosures, and incident response alignment.

Contract Alignment

Clauses covering deletion, access, breach notification, subcontractors, and evidence obligations.

Workflow Verification

Proof that vendors actually follow the workflows documented in contracts and questionnaires.

If passed, PPCDA would emphasize deletion proof, access control evidence, security posture documentation, and workflow verification.

Do vendors need to provide deletion confirmations?

Yes — PPCDA’s proposed direction reinforces the need for verifiable deletion evidence, not just contractual promises.

How often should vendor evidence be updated?

Regularly. PPCDA’s proposed model aligns with ongoing evidence collection rather than annual questionnaires.
