Reminder DSPT Improvement plan updates to be submitted by 31 December 2025

If your organisation’s status for your 2024-25 (v7) DSPT publication is ‘Approaching Standards’ or ‘Standards Not Met’ you must submit an updated improvement plan to cybersecurity@nhs.net by 31 December 2025.

You should use the same template you used to submit the Improvement plan and should complete column S and T to provide your update.

Column S - Is the delivery date still valid, if not please provide an updated date.

Column T - December 2025 Comments This should provide progress updates or context on why dates may have changed.

The updates will be reviewed, and if you have completed all the actions on the Improvement plan, the DSPT team will update your 24-25 DSPT status to 'Standards met'. If sufficient progress is not being demonstrated 24-25 DSPT status may revert to 'Standards not met'.

Your Regional Security leads will be happy to discuss your Improvement plans.

For further information about the improvement plan process and contact details for your Regional Security lead, visit the DSPT news page on improvement plans.

Thanks
DSPT Team
