We take Cyber Security seriously!

In the dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, standing still is synonymous with falling behind. With the surge of cyber threats and the unearthing of new vulnerabilities each year, enhancing cyber resilience is a critical necessity. This resilience is the key to safeguarding sensitive patient records and ensuring unyielding security amidst a world of uncertainty.

The NHS prioritises cyber security owing to its interactions with Special Category Data and has established an ambitious target for organisations to fortify their defences against vulnerabilities and attacks by 2030.

Your website is integral to this mission. It's not only a crucial point of contact for patients to engage with your services, but it often necessitates the collection of confidential and sensitive information. Therefore, it's paramount that your website aligns with this resilient stance, ensuring robust cyber security measures are in place.

Security of your data

Ensuring the security of your website is not enough; it is equally important that the company responsible for running or managing the site can guarantee the security of your data and the information passing through their systems.

DSP Toolkit: Standards exceeded

We're delighted to share that we didn't just meet the standards for the Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit - we exceeded them!

The DSP Toolkit is an online self-assessment tool for health and social care organisations. It's developed by NHS Digital and is designed to measure performance against the National Data Guardian's ten data security standards. Achieving and surpassing these standards isn't just a badge of honour, but proof of our dedication to the highest levels of data security and protection.

What this means for you? Confidence. Confidence in knowing that your sensitive data is managed by an organisation that goes above and beyond to ensure its security. We don't settle for 'good enough' - we strive for 'exceptional' when it comes to safeguarding your data. And our DSP Toolkit certification stands testament to that promise.

Cyber Essentials Plus:

We're proud to hold the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a testament to our commitment to robust cybersecurity. This UK government-backed scheme addresses a range of essential security controls, offering reassurance about our protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks.

Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus means we've undergone a rigorous independent assessment. Our IT systems have been thoroughly tested and have demonstrated resilience against cyber threats. This certification validates our robust cybersecurity practices and safeguards in place to protect not only our operations but, most importantly, our clients' data.

ISO27001 Working towards

In our continuous commitment to uphold data security, we're excited to share that we're now working towards the esteemed ISO 27001 certification. This international standard requires us to exhibit a comprehensive approach to managing sensitive information, further demonstrating our dedication to robust cybersecurity practices.

Achieving ISO 27001 is no small feat, it necessitates passing stringent external audits and assessments. It will complement our existing certifications - the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, where we exceeded standards, and the Cyber Essentials Plus.

Striving for ISO 27001, we aim to further bolster our defenses and enhance our capability to identify and manage potential cybersecurity threats. It underlines our continuous improvement strategy, offering our clients even stronger guarantees in our data protection efforts.

We look forward to sharing more updates on our progress towards achieving the ISO 27001 certification. Our pledge is to continuously enhance our cybersecurity practices to safeguard your valuable data, and we appreciate your trust in our efforts.
