DSPT AUDIT & DSPT CONSULTANCY
DSPT audit – by the experts in healthcare compliance
For NHS-affiliated healthcare providers, meeting the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) standards isn’t just a compliance exercise – it’s a vital step in safeguarding patient data and maintaining trust.
A DSPT audit is a mandatory requirement for independent providers who have been designated Operators of Essential Services and IT suppliers. It provides independent assurance that your organisation is meeting the required data security standards set by NHS Digital.
At RightCue, we bring deep expertise in cybersecurity and data privacy compliance to help the essential service operators and IT suppliers navigate the audit process with confidence, minimise risks, and deliver timely completion of the audits. We use our expertise of the mandated framework, GDPR requirements, the Cyber Essentials scheme and ISO 27001 standards, to define precise scope of the audits.
The end-result for our clients is a timely and complete submission of the audit report on the NHS portal, and a clear action plan for areas identified for improvement.
