Data Security & Protection Toolkit

The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is a Free online self assessment of your organisations data security.

DSPT demonstrates what Care Providers need to do to keep people’s information safe, and to protect their business from the risk of a data breach or a cyber-attack. It covers both paper and digital records and reassures everyone in the social care environment that data security is being taken seriously.

Services with funded packages of care by the NHS, for example under continuing healthcare, there is a legal requirement to complete the DSPT every year.

DSPT compliance for Care Providers supports the requirement to sign up for NHS mail, proxy access for ordering medication online and all other digital initiatives. This includes encouraging the annual submission of DSPT to maintain compliance every year.
