As an Emergency Service accessing communications data under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, you will need to be confident that you have in place secure systems to access and manage data required outside of the 'Golden Hour' and therefore obtained under this legislation. The issues involved include;

  • Reducing reputational risk
  • Ensuring compliance

You will be required to understand and comply with, the Human Rights Act and the Data Protection Act. This means that you will not only need to establish secure management processes but also be able to provide full audit trails.

Compliance will require the time and associated costs of both staff at a senior and administrative levels. The adhoc nature of this type of data request means that a coherant process and guaranteed compliance is made even more difficult. You will need to keep up to date with industry developments and the many hundreds of potential points of contact for securing requested information.
