On 25 May 2018, a new European regulation on the protection of personal data (the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), which raises the level of protection of individuals' privacy came into force. GDPR is more binding on the controllers and processors of personal data. Controllers will be obliged to provide stricter security controls before and when processing personal data. They will have to satisfy the principle of embedded and default protection of personal data. The principle of liability is also added, which also requires, among eligible data controllers, the appropriate insurance, the ability to demonstrate compliance with the General Regulation. Controllers will have to verify the appropriateness of the consent already obtained and consider the possible identification of an authorized person for the protection of personal data. New features are also the provisions of the General Regulation, which require a higher standard in the processing of personal data from processors. They will also be obliged to keep track of the processing, they will have to provide sufficient guarantees for the provision of technical and organizational measures, and in the case of additional processors, they will need to obtain the consent of the controller. However, for the time being, the provisions of sectoral arrangements remain, including video surveillance, insofar as they do not conflict with any of the provisions of the General Regulation.In the article we will show how to establish a legally compliant video surveillance of water supply facilities and devices in Mariborski vodovod, which is one of the essential parts of the critical infrastructure. The company is the largest unified water supply system and regional water supplier in Slovenia, and with the implementation of the public water distribution service is one of the most important stakeholders in critical infrastructure.
