AWS Achieves High DSPT Status
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the successful completion of its 2025-26 NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) assessment. The company achieved a status of "Standards Exceeded" in this evaluation.
Understanding the NHS DSPT
The NHS DSPT is an assessment framework that allows organizations to measure their adherence to the National Data Guardian’s 10 data security standards. Organizations that access NHS patient data and systems are required to use this toolkit to demonstrate compliance with safe data security practices. The DSPT covers areas such as Personal Confidential Data, Continuity Planning, and IT Protection.
Validation and Availability
The assessment status for AWS is valid until June 30, 2027. A certificate confirming AWS's compliance is available on the NHS England website and through AWS Artifact, a self-service portal for accessing AWS compliance reports.
Shared Security Responsibility
AWS emphasizes that security and compliance operate under a shared responsibility model between AWS and its customers. When customers migrate their systems and data to the cloud, security responsibilities are divided between the customer and the cloud service provider, as outlined in the AWS Shared Security Responsibility Model.
