Denial as part of a process is hardly a living confirmation of saying
something already known.
If you consider CCTV surveillance to be mainly an audit trail then
look at the requirements for all types of security audit trails, in my
opinion, it needs highlighting within the group that the two examples
provided in the quote are merely highly visible issues of the moment,
leaving it to the reader to perceive the whole.
With an apparently growing recognition of fair obtaining/retention/use
of personal and audit data, perhaps the reasons behind the demand for
audit trails of all types needs more focus, as much as a greater
recognition of the control factors engendered by them.
I make this comment without yet having read the report and although I
would suspect security/use of, and access to, types of audit trail data
would inherently be recognised in a report from a body primarily
focused on state security in its various forms; in the circumstances
insecurity certainly is not.

Why don't they actually do something about it rather than telling us
something that we already know?
