UK GOVERNMENT UPDATE ON SENSITIVE SITES

Last week, the UK government offered a clear definition of ‘sensitive’ sites. These included any building or complex that routinely holds secret material or above; any location that hosts a significant proportion of officials holding developed vetting clearance; any location which is routinely used by Ministers; and any government location covered under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. In the announcement, it was noted that the level of risk in recycling centres, leisure centres, schools or hospitals does not match that of ‘sensitive’ sites. PRC cameras will therefore not be removed from these buildings or areas meaning there will be a minimal impact on Dahua UK’s business. We will continue to operate as usual, adhering to extremely high cybersecurity, privacy and ethical standards in the market. As always, we are committed to serving the UK market with our state-of-the-art products and services, creating a safe and smarter environment for our customers.
