2. What is the Data Security and Protection Toolkit
Online data security self assessment
Replacement for the IG Toolkit
Lets organisations measure themselves against the NDG Data Security Standards
All organisations that process health and care data should complete a Data Security and Protection Toolkit

3. Why data security is important
It’s about Trust!
“Trust cannot be ensured without secure systems…”
People trust the health and care system to protect information.
Data Security must support digital transformation otherwise the risk of breaches increase and trust will be lost.
