Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT)

The Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) helps adult social care providers in England to check and improve how they keep people’s information safe. It is the official self-assessment tool for the care sector and is widely recognised by CQC, local authorities and the NHS.

This guide explains the benefits of having the DSPT in place and how to complete the assessment at least once a year.

DCHC, in partnership with the ICB and the Better Security Better Care programme, are offering free local support to care providers to evaluate and improve their data and cyber security and complete an annual, online self-assessment using the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). We cover Devon, Torbay and Plymouth and also offer support to Cornwall Partners in Care providers.
