So, what is DTAC and why does the NHS care?
The NHS market is huge. They make thousands of buying and commissioning decisions every single day. They needed a standardised way for all organisations to scrutinise innovations and buy digital healthtech.
And so, the DTAC was born: to remove the confusion about what is mandatory and what is just ‘desirable’ when it comes to the healthtech compliance.
What will be assessed?
All digital health IT systems that the NHS wish to pilot or procure, need to undergo a full DTAC assessment.
The five pillars of DTAC that make sure your health tech is NHS ready.
Clinical Safety
Focus on ensuring your product is safe and effective for patients. We help you develop a robust Clinical Risk Management System (CRMS) and complete all necessary documentation to meet the requirements of the DCB 0129 legislation.
Data Protection
Patient data privacy is paramount. We guide you through building a secure data infrastructure for your organisation and product, achieve conformance with the NHS data protection and security toolkit (DSPT) and more.
Cyber Security
Protecting patient data from cyber threats is crucial. We help you conduct penetration testing, implement secure coding practices, and achieve Cyber Essentials certification.
Interoperability
Your product may need to seamlessly integrate with existing NHS systems. We assist you in developing an interoperability strategy and ensuring API compliance.
Usability & Accessibility
Everyone should be able to use your product. We help you ensure it meets accessibility standards and is user-friendly for all.

Complex requirements can make DTAC a daunting task.
The good news is DTAC makes it easier than ever to know what NHS organisations expect to see from your product.
The bad news? It’s on you to self-certify and demonstrate that your product meets the criteria.
The regulations can be complex and ever-changing, requiring in-depth knowledge of healthcare technical standards.
Without proper guidance, achieving and maintaining compliance can mean a lot of trial and error.
Your compliance journey doesn’t end after meeting the DTAC criteria.
DTAC and its component parts are updated over time. This requires an ongoing commitment to quality and safety throughout your product’s lifetime.
Your healthtech has to prove continuous conformance even as rules change.
And outdated regulations can trip you up during the critical tendering process.
And neither are we. That’s why we automated compliance for healthtech innovators like you.
