DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY TOOKIT
Satisfying the NHS Data Security Standard
Healthcare organisations with NHS contracts will be familiar with the requirement to satisfy their data security standards. Today, that means completing the DSPT.
Companies that process personal data of NHS patients, or provide support services directly to the NHS are required to complete and submit a Data Security and Protection Toolkit application to the NHS; it is in effect the NHS vendor application process.
It can seem complicated, but Ametros Group can help you…

Customer use case
Business challenge
A UK based home blood test provider had lost several internally appointed DPOs and were looking for a more sustainable, and cost-effective, long-term solution. The DPO needed to integrate with the technical aspects of the business, whilst helping management develop documented policies, and work with their legal team on medical data compliance matters.
How Ametros Group helped
In 2008 we setup a fixed rate, auto-renew DPOaaS program on a simple 12-month cycle, costing 90% less than what they had been spending on internally appointed DPOs. Key contacts were setup from each department within the client organisation for direct support and a full GDPR assessment was conducted to ensure the businesses technical and organisational compliance measures were properly documented, considered, and managed.
