Good Morning Blanket and blind operalization of Section 48 will definitely be in incongruous with the Data Protection Act considering most private security firms are not compliant with the latter.

Good day,
Under the Data Protection Act, the letter and the Private Security Regulation Act could fall under section 30(1)(b)(ii). The section provides for data processing necessary 'for compliance with any legal obligation to which the controller is subject' .
Operationalising section 48 of the Private Security Regulation Act is compliance with a legal obligation. However, in my view the issue is whether these private security companies have put in place privacy programmes, measures to comply with data protection principles and data subject rights. That is, what data policies do they have? What information is in their privacy notices? Have they trained these guards in information security, rights of data subjects etc? How do they store the data?
Without proof of concrete information privacy compliance processes, operationalising section 48 will violate Article 31 on the right to privacy.
Best,
Laibuta
