247 Commited to being Carbon Neutral by 2011

ablack — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 14:48:24 +0000

247-Secure has made a commitment towards being carbon neutral for the beginning of 2011. The best way to allow us to maintain the standard we felt was to employ a tried and tested management system such as Iso 14001.

Providing security systems contains a certain amount of responsibility for planning new hardware and migrations to new platforms, what this leaves in most circumstances is equipment which is surplus to current requirements.

Firstly we try and recycle the equipment through channels such as schools and charities, this is then offered to specialist hardware recycling companies.

ISO 14001 requires us to document this process and educate our staff and customers to this policy.

247 is no stranger to management systems as they have strived to achieve standards such as BS25999 and ISO27001.

CCTV Nottingham has been established as a case study for us and run successfully for the last 10 months, with CCTV Derby and CCTV Leicester following close behind for completion 2011.

Any questions about policy and standards can be directed to our compliance officer.

British Standard for CCTV BS7958:2009

ablack — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 23:21:48 +0000

BS 7958 provides recommendations for the operation and management of Closed circuit television (CCTV) systems in environments where data that might be offered as evidence is received, stored, reviewed or analysed.
BS 7958 applies to CCTV schemes used in any public place or if its view encroaches on these areas:
a) Namely areas where the public are encouraged to enter paid or otherwise, or even have a right to visit, such as town centres, shopping malls, public transport, health establishments, etc.
b) Schemes that overlook a public place, such as traffic monitoring schemes also fall under these guidelines.
c) Private schemes where a camera can view fully or includes a partial view of a public place.
BS 7958 is workable standard that allows a measure of good practice for all other CCTV schemes. This includes control rooms whose operation falls within the scope of BS 7499 or BS 5979.
CCTV schemes that process data about a person are obliged to conform to certain legislation, predominantly the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. BS 7958 has been designed to supplement this legislation in a manner that ensures fairness, purpose and responsibility.
BS 7958 provides and recommends best practice to assist prospective users in obtaining reliable information that can be used and will be robust as evidence. Whilst some schemes do not need to meet the DPA criteria, compliance and adherence with the code of practice is strongly recommended, particularly where a scheme does include any elements of observation noted above.
Who should request further information on BS 7958?
• Security managers, Consultants and anyone charged with security compliance
• Directors of guarding/security companies or security service providers
• Operations managers of guarding/security companies or security service providers
• Remote monitoring /receiving centres and facilities both permanent and temporary
• Security vetting and screening consultants
• Equipment installers , Integrated security system providers
• Facilities managers and companies
