Dental Practices — frequently asked questions
We take card payments — do we need PCI DSS too?
Yes. If you take card payments you're in scope for PCI DSS. We identify the simplest applicable SAQ and combine it with your DSPT work.
We're a private practice — do we still need the DSPT?
If you handle any NHS data or use NHS systems, yes. If you're fully private, GDPR still applies and the DSPT is good practice.
