It also provides a complete due diligence strategy to help organizations protect their employees, customers and visitors against this privacy invasion. By taking a pro-active approach to “the video voyeur in the workplace problem" the organization also mitigates the risk of expensive lawsuits, damaging publicity and loss of good will.
