Key Freedom of Information Request Challenges
1. Time-Consuming Processes
- Problem: Manually searching and reviewing hours of CCTV footage for specific incidents or individuals is labour-intensive and time-consuming.
- Solution: Biomatch FR™ automates the search process, using facial recognition technology to quickly locate footage that includes the person of interest. This dramatically reduces the time required to respond to FOI requests.
2. Privacy Concerns
- Problem: Protecting the privacy of individuals captured in CCTV footage, who are not relevant to the FOI request, is a major concern and a legal requirement.
- Solution: Our technology includes automatic redaction capabilities. It intelligently scans and redacts images of any other parties in the footage, ensuring that only the relevant individuals are visible, thereby upholding privacy and GDPR compliance.
3. Handling Large Volumes of Data
- Problem: Managing extensive archives of CCTV footage can be overwhelming and prone to errors, especially when specific data needs to be located and processed.
- Solution: Biomatch FR™ solutions are designed to handle large volumes of video data efficiently. Our systems categorise and index footage in a way that makes retrieval straightforward and reliable.
4. Compliance and Legal Risks
- Problem: Ensuring that the handling of CCTV footage complies with all applicable laws and regulations can be complex and fraught with legal risks.
- Solution: Biomatch FR™ ensures that all processed footage complies with FOI guidelines and data protection laws. We provide a secure framework that minimises legal risks while responding to requests.
5. Resource Allocation
- Problem: Allocating staff to manually manage FOI requests can strain resources and divert attention from core security tasks.
- Solution: By automating the identification and redaction process, Biomatch FR™ allows your staff to focus on their primary responsibilities, optimising resource use and operational efficiency.

Applications of Our Access Control Systems
Requests for redacted content where multiple individuals are present
Biomatch FR™ can automatically detect and redact faces of individuals who are not the subject of an FOI request, thereby protecting the privacy of bystanders. This is particularly useful for footage covering public areas where multiple individuals are present.
Urgent identification and retrieval requirements
When a request is made for footage involving a specific individual, Biomatch FR™ can quickly scan through extensive video archives to identify relevant footage. This significantly reduces the time and manual effort required to fulfil such requests.
Requests for GDPR-compliant CCTV footage
Biomatch FR™ ensures that the processing of CCTV footage for FOI requests complies with GDPR and other privacy regulations. It does this by securing the handling of personal data, providing logs of access and edits to footage, and ensuring that only authorised personnel can view or process the sensitive data.
