DSPT readiness checker

Six quick questions to gauge how ready you are for the DSP Toolkit. It’s a rough guide, not a formal assessment — your answers stay in your browser.

1. Do you know which DSPT profile applies to your organisation?

For example a care home, GP practice, dental practice or pharmacy each has a profile.

Yes — our profile and registration are set up Roughly, but I’m not certain it’s correct No / not registered yet

2. Are your information governance and data-protection policies current?

Yes — reviewed within the last year We have some, but they’re out of date No, or I’m not sure

3. Has all relevant staff completed annual data-security training?

Yes — with records to evidence it Some staff, but records are patchy No / no records

4. Do you have the technical basics in place (backups, MFA, patching, anti-malware)?

Yes — all in place and checked Some of them No / not sure

5. Do you have a documented process for handling a data breach or incident?

Yes — documented and staff know it Informally, but nothing written down No

6. How much of your DSPT evidence is gathered for this year’s submission?

Most of it Some of it Little or none
