Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit
Expertly Guiding Organisations Through the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) Self-Assessment Process
The NHS Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit is an online self-assessment tool that allows organisations to measure their performance against data security and information governance standards set by the NHS. The toolkit is used by healthcare providers, including NHS trusts, GP practices, and third-party suppliers, to ensure they are managing patient data securely and complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
The primary goal of the DSPT is to ensure that organisations can be trusted with the confidentiality and security of personal information. It also helps organisations comply with current legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations.
