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 the use of a surveillance camera system must take into account its effect on individuals and their privacy.
However, we understand that carrying out a DPIA may require you to have extensive knowledge of data protection laws, the DPIA will determine whether your deployment is lawful, and will also be a record of how you have considered and addressed any risks or wider concerns about your project. Developing DPIA’s can be time consuming, and require specific expertise. DPAS can alleviate that burden by taking on the end-to-end creation of DPIA’s and any relevant documentation.
Our team of in-house experts can gather information, complete DPIA’s, analyse risk, and provide you with 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.
