Abstract

The SAPIENT consortium initially developed a guide for conducting an full SIA based on the principles of risk assessment (Part I of this manual). The guide described a method for identifying, assessing (or evaluating) and prioritising for treatment risks arising from the development and deployment of surveillance technologies, systems and applications. A number of test case studies were under- taken in order to evaluate the SIA guide as a tool for the assessment of new surveillance systems and technologies, for use by organisa- tions. The objective was to test this methodology and revise it in light of feedback and the experience of implementing this methodology in a range of settings and with a number of case studies. The main result of the tests was that the full SIA process is not suitable for small companies or research projects. Consequently the SAPIENT developed a 10-page guide for a small-scale SIA to be used by this range of organisations (Part II of this manual).
