Do You Have Full Confidence in the Security of your Data?

The NHS creates and uses a vast amount of confidential and sensitive information. It is critical that this data is well protected against unauthorised access, loss or tampering.

The Data Protection Act makes clear demands upon the NHS in terms of the security that must be applied to protect personal records, requiring that:

“Personal information is kept secure with appropriate technical and organisational measures taken to protect the information.”  Principle 7: The Data Protection Act 1998
