ARE YOU INFORMATION GOVERNANCE AND DSP TOOLKIT COMPLIANT?

It is now critically important that NHS organisations or those organisations providing clinical services to the NHS or directly to the public are Information Governance compliant. NHS Commissioners together with the CQC are now stipulating that providers of clinical services are NHS Digital Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit compliant.

Compliance with the DSP toolkit standards will provide the following advantages:

• Safer and more secure data with improved data quality.
• Improved collaboration, data sharing and decision-making.
• Reduced risk of data breaches and ICO financial sanctions.
• Better able to deal with business interruption.
