NHS DSP Toolkit

The NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSP) requires that all organisations that access NHS patient data and systems have rigorous data security infrastructure and processes in place. An effective cybersecurity strategy is integral in meeting the toolkit’s standards

CYBER SECURITY FOR NHS DSP How to Ensure your Organisation
Meets the NHS DSP Toolkit Standards

The NHS DSP Toolkit is a staple for any organisations that are able to access patient data or NHS systems as part of their business operations

The toolkit is structured around the National Data Guardian’s 10 security standards and involves either an annual online self-assessment or an annual independent audit, measuring your organisation’s performance against these standards. They ensure that you are practicing good data security, have cyber security infrastructure in place, and that all sensitive data is handled correctly

Failing to submit to these assessments/audits, or not meeting the standards required, will trigger an investigation by regulators, often leading to significant fines, operational disruption, and special measures being enacted. These punishments are far more costly than ensuring that your organisation meets the standards originally

Investing in a rigorous cyber security system or improving your existing infrastructure will ensure that you can meet the NHS DSP Toolkit standards. Your organisation will also be in a far better position to react to any future changes to the toolkit, allowing you to seamlessly meet any standardisation differences. Higher investment in cyber security will also greatly reduce the likelihood of suffering a data breach, protecting you against other regulatory fines and disruptions

KEY BENEFITS

Key Benefits of
Partnering with Wizard Cyber

Our team of cyber security experts have considerable experience in helping organisation’s meet the NHS DSP Toolkit standards

From this experience, we have developed several services that directly map to processes that the NHS require you to follow

We know how confusing the guidelines can be, alongside other NHS requirements such as cyber alerts and Secure Boundary. We are here to help you cut through the confusion and create a cost-effective and powerful strategy for meeting the standards

Security Advisories

The NHS regularly publish cyber alerts, directing organisations associated with them to take action. Anything that is classed as ‘high’ requires an immediate response. Unfortunately, it’s not always clear what that response is, as it can change depending on the individual organisation’s infrastructure and cyber security posture
At Wizard Cyber, we diligently follow these alerts and create detailed security advisories for our customers. These advisories are detailed breakdowns of the NHS cyber alert and provide more guidance and clarity on what your organisation needs to do

Secure Boundary

The NHS’ Secure Boundary service is a perimeter cyber security solution that many organisations utilise, as of 2021. Whilst it provides a variety of useful functionality, Wizard Cyber can augment Secure Boundary to improve the capabilities and facilitate smoother DSP Toolkit compliance
Our managed network detection and response (NDR) solution improves the network visibility aspect of Secure Boundary, providing swifter and more accurate threat detection and response across both internal and external networks. It also greatly restricts lateral movement should a malicious actor breach your network, lowering the risk of critical assets being compromised
Our state-of-the-art 24x7x365 managed SOC allows your organisation to expand beyond Secure Boundary’s capabilities, providing around the clock protection, more advanced threat intelligence, and removing the threat of alert fatigue on your in-house security team
