What healthcare organisations usually call us about
NHS buyers ask for Cyber Essentials
Suppliers bidding for many public sector contracts, including in the NHS, are asked to hold Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus.
DTAC and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit
Health tech developers may be asked to show they meet the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), and organisations with access to NHS patient data and systems must complete the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT).
Patient data is a prime target
Health information is among the most sensitive data there is, and an attack can disrupt care as well as expose records.
A procurement deadline is approaching
Cyber Essentials Plus has to be completed within three months of Cyber Essentials. We helped Healthline AI achieve it in just 7 days.
