When the auditor asks for the record, you should already have it.

The records gap
Video Integrity Verification
Most facilities can pull up a video clip when asked, far fewer can document who accessed it, when, why, and whether the chain of custody would survive a legal challenge, which is usually where a well-intentioned records process quietly breaks down.
01
Retention Policy Gaps
Footage and log data get deleted, overwritten, or kept indefinitely with no policy driving the decision.
JMG response
JMG SECURITY SYSTEMS establishes documented retention schedules aligned with your regulatory and legal obligations.
02
Record Integrity Verification
Unlogged access to stored footage undermines its credibility the moment it's actually needed.
JMG response
Access-logged, tamper-evident storage preserves a defensible chain of custody.
03
Centralized Record Search
Video, badge logs, and alarm history sit in separate systems with no unified way to pull them together.
JMG response
Centralized data governance makes cross-system retrieval fast instead of a multi-day scramble.
04
Compliance Tracking Gaps
Industry and regional recordkeeping rules change, and outdated retention practices quietly fall out of compliance.
JMG response
Ongoing policy review keeps governance current against evolving regulatory requirements.

Capture to defensibility
Legal-Defensible Records
A record's value isn't decided when it's created, it's decided later, when someone questions whether it's authentic, complete, and handled correctly the whole way through.
Capture
Data Is Captured And Logged
Video, access, and alarm events are recorded with a timestamped audit trail.
Retention
Automated Retention Rules
Data is kept or purged according to its defined retention schedule.
Control
Access Is Restricted And Logged
Every view, export, or edit of a record is tracked and attributed.
Preservation
Integrity Is Preserved
Tamper-evident storage protects records from unlogged alteration.
Production
Records Are Produced On Request
Retrieval is fast, complete, and documented for audit or legal review.
Industry-specific requirements
Industry-Specific Retention Rules
How strict a facility's data governance needs to be depends heavily on which regulations apply, how litigious the industry is, and how often records actually get requested by an outside party.
01
Financial Institutions & Banking Facilities
Retention and access controls aligned with financial recordkeeping regulations.
02
Healthcare Facilities
Governance structured around HIPAA-conscious handling of access and video data.
