Security and surveillance firm CCOM Global Technologies is utilising Pimloc’s Secure Redactsoftware to protect people’s privacy when sharing footage from its CCTV cameras onboard cruise ships with third parties.
Using artificial intelligence, the Secure Redact software reformats uploaded footage to automatically anonymise selected personal and sensitive information, such as blurring faces of individuals. This enables organisations to responsibly handle captured and live security videos upon request, such as in response to subpoenas.
The software, which was developed by Pimloc’s in-house AI and systems engineering teams, redacts selected information 200 times faster than traditional video editing services. All AI redacted footage is reviewed by a CCOM Global Technologies operative before Secure Redact creates the final video for download, which can then be supplied externally, allowing organisations to stay compliant with data privacy laws and regulations.
“When we are looking at security challenges [onboard cruise ships], we have thousands of people that we need to keep safe and secure, maintaining their wellbeing,” said Daniel Ginat, director of technology at CCOM Global Technologies. “It's a small town, or a [Las] Vegas scale of hotel, with hundreds and hundreds of CCTV cameras. Privacy, as well as security, is key, and Secure Redact helps us to deal with security issues for our clients, while effectively keeping bystanders and other innocents out of the picture.
“From the start, we felt like the team at Pimloc was very knowledgeable of the system. They could show us exactly all of the features and how to use them. This level of expertise, combined with the platform’s capabilities, made Secure Redact the clear choice for us to partner with.”
According to CCOM Global Technologies, the AI-powered software is “highly effective” at maintaining passenger privacy in videos captured onboard cruise ships.
“Secure Redact meets international data privacy compliance requirements when dealing with personal data in images and video files, and it is the fastest solution on the market,” said Simon Randall, CEO of Pimloc. “We’re enabling cruise liners to supply video clips externally as needed – to employees, customers, or even corporate insurance companies, law enforcement and lawyers – all while staying compliant with data privacy laws and regulations.”
