You can now update your Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) for 2024-25 (version 7).

You should complete your DSPT self-assessment annually to ensure it reflects your current data and cyber security arrangements.

Please make plans to ensure that you complete and publish your assessment in good time before the deadline of Monday 30 June 2025.

For further information on the new standard and its requirements, visit the DSPT news page: News (dsptoolkit.nhs.uk)

The key change is that evidence item 4.5.3 covering Multi-Factor authenication has been added.
