Data Security and Protection Toolkit—NHS self-assessment tool for data security standards.
The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is an online self-assessment tool allowing NHS and related organisations to demonstrate they meet data security standards. DSPT covers the 10 National Data Guardian standards including leadership, training, incident management, and technical security. Annual DSPT submission is required for NHS organisations and those accessing NHS systems or data. DSPT compliance is typically contractual requirement for NHS suppliers.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
DSPT compliance is required for NHS work. Complete the annual assessment if you supply to or work with NHS organisations. DSPT demonstrates appropriate data protection to NHS customers.
