CCTV Policy Template
Every camera your firm operates is a data processing activity under UK GDPR. Processing CCTV footage without a documented legal basis, a completed DPIA, compliant signage, a retention schedule, and a data subject rights framework isn't a technicality — it's a breach. For FCA-regulated firms, inadequate surveillance governance is simultaneously a data protection failure and a SYSC systems and controls concern. The FCA doesn't wait.
What's included:
Legal basis and DPIA: UK GDPR framework, legitimate interests assessment, ICO Code of Practice compliance, and proportionality review
Signage and transparency: content requirements, design and visibility standards, strategic placement, and privacy notice integration
Full data subject rights: Articles 15/16/17/18/21 with communication procedures for each right
Data retention and deletion: retention schedule, automated deletion, secure disposal, and legal hold provisions
Access, security, and image quality: access controls, authentication, image quality standards, and technical safeguards
Breach management: ICO 72-hour notification, data subject notification, and investigation and remediation
Ready-to-use appendix: CCTV System Assessment Form with full assessment criteria and completion notes
+ much more
Who is this for?
Data Protection Officers, Compliance Officers, Facilities Managers, and senior management at FCA-regulated firms operating CCTV.
How it works
Step 1 — Read it. Every section exists for a reason, grounded in a specific regulatory obligation.
Step 2 — Understand it. Map the content against your current practices. Identify where you're strong and where gaps exist.
Step 3 — Make it yours. Tailor the language to reflect how your organisation actually operates. A policy that sounds like your firm is a policy your people will follow.
Step 4 — Take ownership. Assign clear accountability — Board approval, named SMF holder, designated policy owner. A policy without an owner is a liability, not an asset.
Step 5 — Operationalise it. Embed the policy into your governance calendar, training programme, and annual review cycle. This is where compliance becomes culture.
