overview
If you’re thinking about installing CCTV or similar technology — whether you’re recording footage or just live-streaming — you’ll need to think about data protection too. People care about how you treat their personal information, and that includes footage of them captured by your CCTV.
One of the key steps in identifying risks to your data subjects is carrying out a CCTV Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Principle 2 of the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice states that the use of a surveillance camera system must take into account its effect on individuals and their privacy.
A CCTV DPIA will determine whether your deployment is lawful, and be a record of how you have considered and addressed any risks or wider concerns about your project.
Developing DPIAs, however, can be time consuming, and requires specific expertise and knowledge about data protection laws. DPAS can alleviate that burden by taking on the end-to-end creation of DPIA, in addition to any other relevant documentation.
Our team of in-house experts will gather information, complete DPIAs, analyse risk, and provide an action plan of any recommendations or remedial advice. Services start from as little as £375.

We enlisted DPAS to help with our journey to GDPR compliance as we didn’t have the resources and skills available within our team. DPAS’ approach was thorough, efficient and remarkably unobtrusive from an operations perspective.
Post completion of the project, we not only had a clearer idea of the risks and issues that attend GDPR compliance directly, but also managed to tidy up in-house data processing to ensure we are more efficient as a business.”
Demonstrating compliance for the use of your surveillance camera systems can be time-consuming and expensive, especially for smaller businesses that may not have the resources or expertise to do so. Outsourcing the assessment and demonstration of compliance for your surveillance cameras can result in significant cost savings for your organisation.
