CCTV Audit

A CCTV audit is an evaluation and assessment of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system to ensure it operates effectively, securely, and in compliance with relevant regulations and standards. This audit involves examining various aspects of the CCTV infrastructure, including hardware, software, procedures, and practices, to identify any weaknesses, vulnerabilities, or areas for improvement. 

Our CCTV Audit Service includes an assessment to ensure your CCTV system meets stringent security and data protection requirements. With an increasing emphasis on privacy and security concerns, businesses and organisations must ensure their CCTV systems adhere to the UK GDPR and DPA 2018 as well as the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice November 2021. 

This will ensure that you are effectively safeguarding assets and individuals.
