With the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) now in effect, Senstar is pleased to confirm its Symphony video management software (VMS) provides a set of privacy-related features that support organisations with GDPR compliance while maintaining situational awareness and operator efficiency.
General Data Protection Regulations
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) apply to all European Union members as well as all foreign companies that process EU resident data. GDPR harmonises the regulatory environment regarding data privacy and provides EU residents with the right to learn how their personal data is used as well as the right to view their personal data. Video surveillance operators are directly affected by these regulations as recorded video of identifiable people is considered personal data.

As well, banks and credit institutions around the world trust the security of Symphony.
Centralised cloud management
Senstar Symphony is a software platform that allows for control of an entire video surveillance system from one central location. Connect and configure cameras, monitor open spaces, implement video analytics, or use centralised cloud management tools for multi-site management.
Senstar Symphony assists "Data Controllers" and "Data Processors" to meet GDPR regulation, however it does not make video surveillance GDPR compliant. It is recommended that legal advice is sought to ensure full compliance.
