The ten data-security standards

The DSP Toolkit groups the National Data Guardian’s standards under three themes, people, process and technology. Desha.ai maps its controls to each.

  • People: information-governance training, clear accountability, and a culture of confidentiality.
  • Process: data flows documented, access on a need-to-know basis, suppliers managed, incidents reported within required timeframes.
  • Technology: unsupported systems removed, protective measures (encryption, monitoring) in place, and continuity tested.

How we align

  • Information-asset and data-flow mapping for any NHS data in scope.
  • Role-based access, MFA and audit logging across systems that touch patient data.
  • Supplier / sub-processor due diligence with contractual data-protection flow-down.
  • Documented incident management aligned to NHS reporting expectations.

Status & evidence

DSP Toolkit submissions are organisation- and engagement-specific. For an NHS procurement we provide our current alignment evidence and complete or confirm the relevant Toolkit publication as part of onboarding.
