Privacy Considerations in a Security-rich Environment

As security consulting and engineering practitioners, our goal is to secure people, property, and data. In doing so, we also take into consideration privacy concerns related to personal identification information, HIPPA at healthcare facilities, and other privacy concerns that occupants and organizations have.

We've accumulated a short list of discussion points that security professionals should have on their radar as related to security program policies and procedures:

• retention period of personal identification data
• facial identification and recognition
• AI evolution and impact on security systems, programs, and policies
• biometric data 
• username and password policies - Zero Trust in the future
• image blur or masking for sensitive areas within camera field of view - faces, computer screens, etc.
• access to recorded data by various levels of staff
• encryption and authentication of data
• visitor management system activity logs
• access control activity logs

At a time when security measures are spreading a wider net across facilities and campuses, it's important to have a current security program strategy that considers privacy policies, works for today's operational environment, and can be expanded with flexibility in the future as security postures evolve.
