Privacy-first. Always.
We built Archangel on a fundamental principle: you can protect people without surveilling them. No facial recognition. No biometric data. No footage stored.
Certifications
Independently verified security
Archangel holds the industry's most demanding security certifications. We undergo regular third-party audits to verify every claim we make.
Privacy Architecture
Privacy is structural, not optional
Most security systems bolt privacy on as an afterthought. We built Archangel the other way around. Privacy constraints are embedded at the architectural level.
No biometric data. Ever.
Archangel does not capture, process, or store biometric data of any kind. No facial recognition, no fingerprint scanning, no voice analysis. This is not a setting. It is how the system is built.
Behaviour, not identity
Our AI analyses movement patterns and behavioural signals to detect threats like drink spiking, violence, and harassment. It never identifies who someone is. It identifies what is happening.
No footage stored
Video frames are processed in real time and immediately discarded. Archangel never stores, records, or retains any CCTV footage. Only anonymised behavioural metadata is captured.
Encrypted end to end
All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. Because we never store footage or personal data, the attack surface is fundamentally smaller than traditional systems.
Technical Architecture
What happens to your data
Video frames ingested
Your existing CCTV feeds connect to Archangel via standard RTSP protocol. No new cameras needed.
AI analyses behaviour
Our models detect threat patterns like drink spiking, violence, and harassment. Frames are processed in real time.
Frames discarded
After analysis, video frames are immediately discarded. No footage is ever stored, cached, or transmitted.
Metadata extracted
Only anonymised behavioural metadata is retained: threat type, location, severity, and timestamp. No PII.
Alerts dispatched
Staff receive instant alerts with actionable context. Every alert is logged for compliance and audit trails.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything security leaders ask about privacy, data, and compliance.
No. Archangel is architecturally incapable of facial recognition. Our AI analyses behavioural patterns and movement, not faces or biometric features. This is not a setting that can be toggled - it is how the system is built.
No. Archangel processes video frames in real time and discards them immediately. We never store, record, or retain any footage. Only behavioural metadata is extracted for threat detection.
Yes. Archangel is GDPR compliant by design. We are also SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 certified, and CCPA compliant. Privacy is built into our architecture, not bolted on.
Archangel only collects behavioural metadata: threat type, location, severity, and timestamp. We never collect personal identifiers, biometric data, or any information that could identify an individual.
You choose your data residency. Archangel supports deployment in multiple regions, giving you full control over where your data lives to meet local sovereignty requirements.
No. Archangel cannot identify individuals. Our system detects behavioural patterns associated with threats like drink spiking, violence, and harassment. It analyses actions, not identities.
Archangel holds SOC 2 Type II certification, ISO 27001 certification, and is fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA. We undergo regular third-party security audits.
All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Because we do not store footage or personal data, the attack surface is fundamentally smaller than traditional surveillance systems.
