The latest edition of the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) includes two additional mandatory questions that adult social care providers need to answer.  

These questions are:  

  • 4.3.1 Have all the administrators of your organisation's IT system(s) signed an agreement to hold them accountable to higher standards? 

  • 7.1.1 You have an asset register detailing your organisation's hardware, software and data, which is kept up to date. 

The Better Security, Better Care team is updating its guidance, templates and resources to include these additional questions.  

To learn more about these changes, you can join a webinar to discuss from 2:30pm – 3:30pm on Wednesday 1 October 2025. Click here to register.
