GDPR vs CCPA vs LGPD

Key Differences

GDPR applies to any organisation globally that processes EU residents' personal data — with no size, revenue, or industry threshold. CCPA applies only to for-profit California businesses above specific revenue or data volume thresholds. LGPD applies to organisations processing Brazilian residents' data.

GDPR requires a positive documented lawful basis for every processing activity; CCPA and LGPD operate primarily on opt-out and consent models respectively. Divergent consent mechanisms, data subject rights response timelines, and enforcement bodies create significant operational complexity without a unified compliance platform.

CyberSilo's unified platform handles GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD from a single control library. Explore each framework: GDPR Compliance · CCPA Compliance
