On Tuesday, 3 September 2024, in a joint statement from NHS England and the National Data Guardian (NDG), Dr Nicola Byrne announced a plan to gradually move away from the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT), the self-assessment tool health and care organisations use to demonstrate compliance with the NDG’s 10 data security standards, and instead adopt the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF).
In a statement, Dr Byrne said: "I fully support this transition to the CAF. It represents a positive evolution, offering organisations a more current framework for evaluating and improving their data protection and cyber resilience. I remain committed to supporting NHS England in maintaining and advancing the highest standards of data security across health and care."
