DSPT (Data Security and Protection Toolkit)

What Is DSPT (Data Security and Protection Toolkit)?

The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is an online self-assessment tool that allows organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardian's 10 data security standards. It is mandatory for all organisations that have access to NHS patient data and systems.

Why It Matters

Completing the DSPT is a contractual requirement for NHS organisations and their suppliers. A 'Standards Not Met' status can impact contracts, partnerships and access to NHS systems. Beyond compliance, meeting the standards ensures patient data is handled securely.
