The Data Security and Protection Toolkit is an online self-assessment tool that allows organisations to measure their performance against the National Data Guardian’s 10 data security standards.
All organisations that have access to NHS patient data and systems must use this toolkit to provide assurance that they are practising good data security and that personal information is handled correctly. This includes trusts, commissioners and CSUs.
The following information displays data taken from a specific snapshot of the DSPT data. The latest status information was downloaded on the 8th February 2022.

Notes on Methodology
Composite Metrics for ICS
The DSPT status for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Trusts are coded (scored) as follows to create the proxy for Integrated Care System (ICS) summary metrics:
CCG scores within an ICS are then weighted based on the resident population.
Trust scores within an ICS are weighted either a) as simple average or b) based on their EPRR score.
Finally, for each ICS, the CCG and Trust scores are weighted equally to arrive at the ICS composite score.
The final scaling for each of the summary metrics displayed will have an upper bound of 3 and a lower bound of -3.
Summary of DSPT Compliance (2020/2021 edition).
Summary statistics from the DSPT 2020/21 toolkit are shown.
CCGs and Trusts - Individual Compliance
The compliance of individual CCGs and Trusts are mapped below, with ICS boundaries. Toggle the boxes on the top right-hand side to add layers.
CCGs and Proportions of Trusts Compliance - Colour Coded Population
The proportions of trust compliance within each ICS with boundaries (in black) are shown. The ICSs are colored to represent the patient population level. The darker the shade of blue the higher the patient population level.
ICSs Composite Compliance - CCG and Trust Score Average Weighted For Population
The compliance of individual ICSs, made up of a composite score of 50% CCG scores which have been weighted for population and 50% of a simple average of Trust scores. Region boundaries are displayed in blue.
Template for end-to-end open source analytics: github.io, and github actions.
Analytics leverages open source data and R libraries such as leaflet for interactive maps, plotly for other interactive visualisations and summarytools for descriptive statistics.
