US data privacy laws are fragmented and constantly changing. However, failing to comply with each state’s respective law can result in fines, penalties, and a loss of trust in your business.

‍

That’s where Vanta’s US Data Privacy (USDP) framework comes in handy. It helps you comply with state-level consumer privacy laws through one unified set of controls, so you can scale confidently across the US.

‍

We regularly update the USDP framework to keep up with new and evolving regulations, so you become and remain compliant. Currently, the USDP framework covers the following:

‍

California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA)/California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA)
Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)
Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA)
Connecticut Data Protection Act (CTDPA)
Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA)
Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (MTCDPA)
Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)
Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (ICDPA)
Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (DPDPA)
Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act (KCDPA)
Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act (ICDPA)
Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 (MODPA)
Nebraska Consumer Data Privacy Law (NDPA)
Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA)
New Hampshire Data Privacy Act (NHDPA)
New Jersey Data Privacy Law (NJDPL)
Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act (DTPPA)

‍

So, where do you start, and how do you proceed with USDP? Follow this USDP compliance checklist to get started.

‍

Streamlining compliance with US data privacy regulations

‍

The checklist above covers the key aspects of US state data privacy laws, but it’s important to take a deeper look at all the detailed requirements of each state law to make sure you’re crossing your Ts and dotting your Is, especially in the coming years, as laws may change.
‍

The best way to do this is by automating data privacy compliance with Vanta’s USDP framework. USDP in Vanta centralizes your privacy program, maps controls across state laws, and continuously updates as regulations evolve, so you can stay compliant without managing each law individually.
