Data Management Best Practices for Security AI Systems

ovsero • September 25, 2025

Effective data management represents a critical but often overlooked aspect of security AI implementations. These systems generate substantial data including video footage, detection events, response actions, and performance metrics—all requiring appropriate governance. Organizations should establish comprehensive data management strategies addressing several key dimensions. Retention policies should clearly define what data is preserved and for how long, balancing security needs against storage costs and privacy considerations. For most applications, tiered retention makes sense: keeping all detection events and associated video for longer periods while limiting retention of uneventful footage. Access controls should establish who can view different data types under various circumstances, with particular attention to sensitive footage showing incidents or individuals in vulnerable situations. At ovsero, we recommend role-based access systems with additional approval requirements for certain data categories. Data security measures should protect against unauthorized access, with encryption for both stored data and transmission pathways. Regular auditing of access logs helps ensure policies are followed consistently. For multi-site implementations, data sovereignty considerations may require keeping certain information within specific geographic boundaries to comply with local regulations. Organizations should also establish clear incident data packages—standardized collections of relevant information assembled after significant events for investigation, insurance, or legal purposes. Well-designed data management systems transform security data from potential liability into valuable assets for improving security operations through analysis and continuous learning.
