The NDG made it clear in their review… it’s all about Trust!Īll organisations that have access to NHS patient data and systems must use the DSP Toolkit to provide assurance that they are practicing good data security and that personal information is handled correctly. The changes being brought about by the DSP Toolkit were driven by changing regulations, namely EU GDPR, the changing threat landscape, and to move to a continuous improvement model.
Produced by NHS Digital, it is an online self-assessment tool that allows organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardian’s (NDG) 10 data security standards. The Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit replaced the Information Governance (IG) Toolkit in April 2018.
