DEKRA Standard Video Surveillance

Video surveillance systems serve a wide range of purposes. However, when individuals or license plates are recorded for identification purposes, strict legal requirements apply. To ensure GDPR-compliant operation, organizations must adhere to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Proper implementation of these regulations is essential for maintaining lawful and secure video surveillance practices.
With years of experience and in-depth knowledge of GDPR and BDSG regulations, we ensure your surveillance systems are compliant and secure with our independent assessments.
