When security operatives use CCTV, they must comply with which requirement?

• A. Comply with current data protection legislation
• B. Follow company dress code
• C. Do not record any data
• D. Share footage publicly

Answer: (A)

Using CCTV means you are processing personal data—the footage can identify people, times, and places. Because of that, you must operate under current data protection legislation. This means handling footage in a lawful, fair, and transparent way: establish a legitimate security purpose, inform people that recording is in progress, collect only what’s necessary, store and protect the data securely, and keep it only for as long as needed. It also means respecting individuals’ rights, such as providing access to footage if requested and ensuring it isn’t shared publicly without proper justification. The other options don’t fit because a dress code is irrelevant to data protection, CCTV does record data, and sharing footage publicly would breach privacy rules.
