The Data Security Protection Toolkit (DSPT)

Having Digital Social Care Records will transform the way you provide care but it does mean that your data protection policies and procedures need to be robust

One of the ways you can do this is by completing the Data Security Protection Toolkit (DSPT)

The Data Security and Protection Tool Kit (DSPT) is an Online Assessment which all Care Providers who work with and access NHS patient data and systems (including NHS Mail) must complete annually.

It is a condition of accessing the DIgital Transformation Fund that you have successfully completed the DSPT to Standards Met level

The tool kit covers such areas as your privacy and data protection policies, how you store and backup data, how you secure mobile devices, business continuity in the event of a cyber incident and how you manage your IT security and support.

Successful completion of the DSPT is also a requirement to access NHS Mail and Proxy Access,

The West Midlands Care Association is part of a FREE national program - Better Security Better Care - to assist all CQC registered care providers with this.
