The timer starts once you have received (and correctly verified) the request; from then on, there are 30 days to complete the DSAR. 

No one likes fines so following a proper process means you can complete these requests on time. 

Here are 9 simple steps to tackle a DSAR with Secure Redact

Step 1: Inform internal stakeholders of the request (HR, Legal, Compliance where relevant).

Step 2: Verify the identity of the subject and authenticate the DSAR.

Step 3: Locate and collate all the relevant videos they appear in. This may mean identifying different camera streams. 

Step 4: Upload the video footage to Secure Redact through our easy sign-up process (or via APIs). 

Step 5: Allow our system to automatically add redaction boxes overlaid onto any faces, licence plates and other personal data.

Step 6: Review the automatic redactions - untick any redaction tracks where the data subject appears to make them visible in the final video. Take care to make sure you have redacted all the personal data you need to.

Step 7: Download the redacted video for sharing with your data subject.

Step 8: Respond to the applicant with the redacted video. 

Step 9: Close the request.

“We found it easy to understand (as a novice) and completed the redaction in a couple of hours.”

Jonathan From Greater Yarmouth Town Centre Partnership

“After only a bit of practice, I can redact and review a typical request in around an hour - taking only a quarter of the time I used to spend before.”
