<br>
<br>Apologies for the delay in approaching you for this, it's been very
<br>hectic the past two months.
<br>
<br>
<br>Our plan for implementation is below:
<br>
<br>So the new Surveillance Policy enacted by Guild will be affecting us,
<br>alongside our hosting for Unigames' and UniSFA's webcams. The new
<br>requirements mean that webcam/security cam archives must be private,
<br>that they must be kept for a minimum of 30 days and maximum of 90 days,
<br>and that access to the archives must be logged and go through Guild
<br>before access is permitted. Please clarify if I am missing something here.
<br>
<br>The website for the live feed and archives can easily be disabled,
<br>that's not a problem.
<br>
<br>The current way our cams are stored is that every 6 seconds, we pull the
<br>current image from the webcams, and store this on our servers. These
<br>webcams are only accessible inside the UCC network, so if they were to
<br>stay then the storage would likely have to stay inside UCC.
<br>
<br>Currently this is stored on our file server, which can be accessed by
<br>our main user server (which performs the image retrieval processes) and
<br>our webserver.
<br>
<br>To lock down access, I suggest that we instead move this process and
<br>storage to a new VM (hosted inside UCC), where any access can be logged
<br>stringently, and which we can make accessible to Guild IT.
<br>
<br>Realistically, our sysadmin team will have to have access to the VM for
<br>security purposes, and to make sure it remains working, but this access
<br>policy can extend to them and we can log what files they access to
<br>monitor this. We also have our strict ethical guidelines for our
<br>sysadmins, which violation of can result in swift removal of access and
<br>priviliges.
<br>
<br> From there we can also automate clearing of the archives, to maintain
<br>compliance with the new policy.
<br>
<br>IMPLEMENTATION PLAN END
<br>
<br>
<br>Our two primary questions are:
<br>
<br>- Are we permitted to continue our hosting agreement for UniSFA's and
<br>Unigames' cameras? They also have a security purpose there and they have
<br>shown verbal interest in continuing to have them, even if the public
<br>feed goes down.
<br>
<br>- Would we be able to retain some of our old archives for historical
<br>purposes? They are a good record of our time in Cameron Hall, especially
<br>as we celebrate our 50th anniversary next week, and 30 years in Cameron
<br>Hall.
<br>
<br>
<br>If you have any questions or suggestions for implementation or
<br>otherwise, do not hesitate to contact me or the rest of committee.
<br>
<br>
<br>Kind regards,
<br>Gary O'Donovan
