CNIL Guidance on Employee Monitoring and Workplace Video Surveillance ACC-8: ACC-8 Use biometric access control only as a subsidiary measure, justified, with the template held on an individual medium

Non-biometric devices (badge, code) are preferred where they give sufficient security. Biometric authentication is possible only as a subsidiary measure, where the employer demonstrates that alternative devices or organisational and technical measures cannot reach the required security level. The template should in principle be stored on a medium held by the employee. The CNIL's model regulation on biometrics at work requires a circumstantiated justification, strict technical and organisational security and documentation of the choices made.
