A simple step-by-step on how to tackle video DSARs
The timer starts once you have received (and correctly verified) the request; from then on, there are 30 days to complete the DSAR.
No one likes fines so following a proper process means you can complete these requests on time.
“We don’t really have a process to deal with them.”
“You have to have a lot of faith in the company you are outsourcing to for them to get it right...a lot of companies would rather keep it in-house.”
“I feel comfortable using (traditional) editing software but I donʼt think many CCTV officers would be comfortable doing the same.”
Here are 9 simple steps to tackle a DSAR with Secure Redact
Step 1: Inform internal stakeholders of the request (HR, Legal, Compliance where relevant).
Step 2: Verify the identity of the subject and authenticate the DSAR.
Step 3: Locate and collate all the relevant videos they appear in. This may mean identifying different camera streams.
Step 4: Upload the video footage to Secure Redact through our easy sign-up process (or via APIs).
Step 5: Allow our system to automatically add redaction boxes overlaid onto any faces, licence plates and other personal data.
Step 6: Review the automatic redactions - untick any redaction tracks where the data subject appears to make them visible in the final video. Take care to make sure you have redacted all the personal data you need to.
Step 7: Download the redacted video for sharing with your data subject.
Step 8: Respond to the applicant with the redacted video.
Step 9: Close the request.
