Agenda item

Joint report of The Chamberlain and The Town Clerk.

Members considered a joint report of the Town Clerk and the Chamberlain which provided updates of outstanding actions from previous meetings.

ANPR Outage

The Chamberlain confirmed that the ANPR outage in autumn last year was related to a hardware failure at a third-party provider.

CyberArk

The Chamberlain confirmed that the CyberArk PrivateArk deployment would be complete by April.

Broadband Roll Out

The Chairman highlighted, for Members’ information, a letter from the Corporation to Transport for London (TfL) concerning using rail and tube tunnels to facilitate greater broadband coverage in central London.

In answer to a Member’s query, the Chamberlain confirmed that in future, the Corporation would make provisions for the inclusion of data sets when drafting contracts with third party broadband providers.

GDPR – Subject Access Requests

The Chamberlain confirmed that subject access requests would be reviewed as a part of a general rationalisation of data forms (this included Privacy Impact Assessments); this was in parallel to the preparation for the introduction of GDPR.

The Chairman emphasised the importance of the Member Development GDPR training sessions with the Comptroller, which are currently taking place. He suggested that all Members of the Sub Committee should attend at least one of these sessions, and that they should thereafter champion the Comptroller’s messages to other Members.

RESOLVED – that Members noted the report.
