In the Non-cyber personal data breach reports received, Q4 2018-19, there were 91 reports of “failure to redact.”

Facit Data Systems contacted the ICO to ask about guidelines in relation to SARs and CCTV. The ICO replied: “Individuals have the right to request CCTV footage that identifies them. If there are third parties present you should see our guidance. You should also consider redaction of the third party personal data in order to supply the SAR.”
