Adaptive Care meets stringent NHS security standard

Globally, a healthcare organisation experiences a cyber-attack every 6.8 minutes – four times more frequently than any other sector, which could have severe implications for care delivery.

To ensure patient and customer data is safe, the NHS requires digital health technologies with access to NHS data and systems to meet the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT).

We are proud to announce that Adaptive Care has successfully met the NHS DSPT standard. Our business has been thoroughly assessed against the relevant security and data privacy measures, including data minimisation and integrity processes, access control, incident response procedures, penetration testing, data protection impact assessments, cyber security training and more. The DSPT also ensures that individuals can make informed choices about how their data is used.

This assessment has served as a robust framework to ensure our solutions comply with some of the most critical data protection and cybersecurity standards, including UK-GDPR and Cyber Essentials. Our NHS partners can rest assured that we have implemented the necessary policies, processes and training to handle their securely and responsibly.

By adhering to these frameworks, we are not only safeguarding our customers and users but also contributing towards resilience against attacks on healthcare systems across the entire NHS.

To complete the DSPT using best practice, we utilised NAQ’s platform, which assists health innovators in efficiently meeting NHS compliance. We extend our sincere thanks to NAQ for their guidance and for making the process clear.
