A key tenet of the GDPR is that organizations must adopt solutions that offer privacy by design. Systems and technology across your organizations should be designed to limit data collection, retention, and accessibility. Building security with Privacy by Design Designing compliance with existing security technologies is difficult. That's why many businesses using legacy security equipment or older proprietary systems might have a harder time complying with new privacy laws. Some security systems simply cannot enable and support the fundamentals of data security and privacy— that is ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. And as much as an organization tries to patch solutions onto existing systems and infrastructures to help mitigate risks, vulnerabilities could still lurk. Ask yourself— if your organization receives a request from a customer to see collected video footage, will you be able to safely share those video files while protecting the identities of other individuals in the frame? Or, what would happen if you failed to secure one of your hundreds of cameras and that device becomes the pathway to a breach of customer information? Legacy systems don't cut it At Genetec, privacy and cybersecurity are central to our R&D process. Not only do we understand the importance of keeping systems and networks secure, but we provide you with the tools and features that help you sustain that. Our built-in privacy and cybersecurity measures include varied lines of defense such as encryption, multi-layered authentication, and authorization. Using our solutions, you can also blur identities in video footage, automate retention policies, and securely share information during investigations or when a citizen requests it. From device to client application, these capabilities allow you to safeguard against cyber threats and unauthorized access while ensuring privacy is always respected. Depending on the laws that govern those specific situations, you could be subject to massive financial penalties. More than that, damage to your reputation and customer's trust could be irreparable.
