Compliance by industry

Healthcare and care

Patient and resident data is among the most targeted in the UK. Whether you are a clinic, care provider or NHS supplier, we get you through the Data Security and Protection Toolkit and keep the controls behind it working every day.

TESTED
100% success record

Every client we have taken through an accreditation has achieved it - and kept it at every renewal.

We never mark our own homework

We submit ourselves to independent third-party testing. Certification is always issued by an independent body, never by us.

Physical tests, not questionnaires

We prove each control works on your real devices and services. Questionnaire answers can be inaccurate or optimistic; tests cannot.

Free assessment of where you are

We will look at your current position for free and tell you exactly which controls you need - with no obligation.

What healthcare and care organisations tell us keeps them up at night

DSPT every year

The toolkit is annual and the evidence bar keeps rising - we keep it current all year so submission is routine.

Cyber Essentials for NHS contracts

Many NHS and public sector contracts now expect Cyber Essentials or Plus from suppliers.

Special category data

Health data carries the strictest UK GDPR obligations - access, encryption and breach readiness must be provable.

Clinical systems uptime

Backups, restores and continuity plans that are tested, because downtime affects care.

The standards that matter for healthcare and care

What sets Total Group apart

Compliance monitored in real time - not checked once a year

Our own intellectual property is how we run compliance: we monitor the major healthcare and care controls in real time using the leading enterprise SaaS tools. That lets us map gaps and bridge controls quickly and accurately while you work towards accreditation - and then keep standards up, and risk down, every day after it.

Controls monitored in real time

We watch the major controls continuously using leading enterprise SaaS security and compliance tools - not once a year with a questionnaire.

Gaps mapped and bridged fast

Live data shows exactly which controls are missing or drifting, so we can map the gaps and bridge them quickly and accurately.

Compliant change management

Every change to your systems follows a compliant change process, so an upgrade or a new starter never quietly breaks a control.

Compliance that improves, not decays

Issues are picked up and fixed as they happen. Your risk goes down over the year instead of creeping up until the next audit.

Annual review“We were compliant a year ago.”
  • Controls drift unnoticed for months
  • Renewal is a fraught cliff edge
  • Evidence is gathered in a rush

  • Every major control watched continuously

Annual review is not viable in the current threat landscape. Attackers do not wait twelve months - so neither do we.

Questions and answers

Do care providers need the DSPT?

Any organisation with access to NHS patient data and systems must complete it - that includes many adult social care providers, GP practices, pharmacies and NHS suppliers.

Does Cyber Essentials help with the DSPT?

Yes. Several DSPT technical assertions are satisfied by Cyber Essentials controls, and Cyber Essentials Plus provides strong independent evidence.

What makes Total Group different from other compliance providers?

We monitor the major controls in real time using leading enterprise SaaS tools, with compliant change management behind every change. Gaps are found and bridged quickly, standards are maintained every day, and accreditation stops being a fraught cliff edge - you can say you were compliant yesterday, not a year ago.

Why is an annual review not enough?

Controls drift: devices miss patches, accounts change, new services appear. With an annual review that drift goes unnoticed for months while risk rises. Real-time monitoring catches it as it happens, so issues are fixed quickly and your compliance improves rather than decays.
