Because those records are personal data (and, if you use biometrics, often u003c/spanu003eu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003especial categoryu003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003e personal data), the system also sits squarely inside your privacy obligations as an employer. This long-form guide explains how to run access control that’s secure, safe and fair to your workforce—aligned to UK GDPR, the DPA 2018 and ICO guidance—without turning the front door into a privacy headache.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eIf you want a defensible design and commissioning plan, we can translate the steps below into a scoped specification, governance pack and staff-friendly roll-out.

The ICO’s 2023 guidance on monitoring workers specifically calls out the rise of new technologies and reminds employers to consider both the law u003c/spanu003eu003ciu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eandu003c/spanu003eu003c/iu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003e workers’ rights before implementing any monitoring. In short: build privacy in from the outset, and be able to explain your choices.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eThe regulator has also acted. In 2024, the ICO ordered a major leisure operator to stop using facial recognition and fingerprint scanning to track attendance and to delete unnecessary biometric data, noting the employer had not justified why intrusive biometrics were needed over less-intrusive options and had not offered alternatives. That is a strong signal for all employers considering workplace biometrics.u003c/spanu003e

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used ACCL for a full WiFi and network install at our Old Street office and are very pleased with the result. They supplied and installed seven Ubiquiti WiFi access points, a UniFi Dream Machine, a 24 port Layer 3 Ubiquiti switch, and ran new Cat6A Leviton cabling with two ports to every AP. The whole job was neat, well planned and done to a very high standard. The coverage across the office is excellent and it looks pretty cool too! Would happily recommend them to anyone needing cabling or network infrastructure done properly.

The ACCL team installed our new network cabling, the foundation in readiness for supplying and installing a new IP CCTV camera system, professionally and efficiently. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was installed neatly and working perfectly. Their attention to detail and customer service were outstanding. I very much appreciate the initial project management and upfront planning, which combined to secure a successful delivery. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable network cabling or CCTV installation. Thank you for a fantastic job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Wayne, David and the ACCL team for a number of years on projects throughout London. One of very few suppliers that we never have to question their proposal on detail or price, everything is clear, transparent and fair. Projects are always completed on time and there are never any costly surprises which we had previously experienced from other suppliers. They all have a vast knowledge on anything fibre optic cabling, copper cabling or wifi. ACCL is now the only data cabling company in our phone book. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wayne and team did an excellent job tidying our office data cabinet over the weekend. Professional, clean work—they went above and beyond with cable management and even relocated the router. Communication was impeccable throughout. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Wayne, David and the ACCL team for a number of years on projects throughout London. One of very few suppliers that we never have to question their proposal on detail or price, everything is clear, transparent and fair. Projects are always completed on time and there are never any costly surprises which we had previously experienced from other suppliers. They all have a vast knowledge on anything fibre optic cabling, copper cabling or wifi. ACCL is now the only data cabling company in our phone book. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We commissioned a Wi-Fi survey and installation of new fibre and Cat6 cabling to support a new Wi-Fi installation from Accl in July and August of 2026. ACCL were superb from start to finish. We cannot fault the quality of the work and we received great advice on our project. Very satisfied customer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used ACCL for a full WiFi and network install at our Old Street office and are very pleased with the result. They supplied and installed seven Ubiquiti WiFi access points, a UniFi Dream Machine, a 24 port Layer 3 Ubiquiti switch, and ran new Cat6A Leviton cabling with two ports to every AP. The whole job was neat, well planned and done to a very high standard. The coverage across the office is excellent and it looks pretty cool too! Would happily recommend them to anyone needing cabling or network infrastructure done properly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent service from start to finish! The ACCL team installed our new network cabling, the foundation in readiness for supplying and installing a new IP CCTV camera system, professionally and efficiently. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was installed neatly and working perfectly. Their attention to detail and customer service were outstanding. I very much appreciate the initial project management and upfront planning, which combined to secure a successful delivery. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable network cabling or CCTV installation. Thank you for a fantastic job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Wayne and his team for the excellent work they carried out. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, efficient, and clearly took great pride in delivering a high standard of service. They were professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail, ensuring everything was neat, clearly labelled, well organised, and completed to a very high standard. The end result was clean, structured, and exactly what we needed. Wayne and his team were reliable, courteous, and clearly committed to doing the job properly rather than simply getting it done. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional cabling work and a team that genuinely takes pride in the quality of their finish.
