IT consultancy service based in Yorkshire, delivering NHS DSPT compliance for the social care sector
Are you struggling with the complexities of completing the NHS DSPT security check and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation?
Why DSPT compliance is important for your business
The NHS and CQC are encouraging the use of Digital Care Records and Secure Email in order to improve personal care services and outcomes.
The completion and maintenance of DSPT ‘Standards Met’ or above is required to access and share patient data securely in compliance with national standards. It is also required to access NHS Mail and as part of certifying your own mail service as part of NHS Mail.
Helps to build trust with the NHS and CQC
The NHS and the CQC recognise the DSPT as official evidence for good security processes, policies and procedures. A 'Standards Met' score is a requirement for access to key services such as NHS mail or shared care records.
Reassures people using your service their data is secure
Residents, their families and care givers can be assured that their data is being used shared and stored securely and that staff are regularly trained in the proper use and security of personal confidential information.
