Governance Toolkit Update

Data Security and Protection Toolkit

The Data Security and Protection Toolkit is an online self-assessment tool that allows organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardian’s 10 data security standards.

All organisations that have access to NHS patient data and systems must use this toolkit to provide assurance that they are practising good data security and that personal information is handled correctly.

Although the NHS England Local Office may ask you whether you have complied with IG10 requirements in the routine practice inspection it is more likely that it will be the CQC who ask you to produce specific proof or having complied.

If any provider needs any help with the completion of IG10 Version 14 then please contact Christine Smith’s office on:
