MEG exceeds NHS Data Security and Protection standards

NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit

MEG has exceeded the high standard set out by the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) assessment for 2022/2023.

The DSPT is an online self-assessment tool completed annually that allows organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardianโ€™s 10 data security standards:

  1. Personal Confidential Data

  2. Staff Responsibilities

  3. Training

  4. Managing Data Access

  5. Process Reviews

  6. Responding to Incidents

  7. Continuity Planning

  8. Unsupported Systems

  9. IT Protection

  10. Accountable Suppliers

It provides a mechanism for organisations to demonstrate that they are practising good data security and can be trusted to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal information.

In exceeding this standard, MEG can be trusted to provide a safe, secure and controlled environment thatโ€™s accredited to the highest international standards.
