Selling AI tools into the NHS requires passing several compliance frameworks. On our dedicated UK hosting you control the infrastructure in a way that simplifies audit for these standards.
Contents
DTAC
Digital Technology Assessment Criteria is NHS’s assessment for digital health technology. It covers clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, and usability. AI systems need to demonstrate compliance on each axis.
DCB0129 / DCB0160
Clinical risk management standards for digital health. DCB0129 applies to manufacturers; DCB0160 applies to deploying health organisations. For an AI tool, you typically must produce a Clinical Safety Case Report signed by a qualified Clinical Safety Officer.
DSP Toolkit
The Data Security and Protection Toolkit is NHS’s annual assertion of data security. Suppliers handling NHS data typically need to complete it at the appropriate standard level.
Dedicated Hosting Role
These frameworks do not specifically mandate dedicated hosting, but dedicated UK hosting simplifies compliance in concrete ways:
- Clear data residency boundary (UK)
- Physical and logical isolation from other tenants
- Audit logs entirely under your control
- Model version pinning supports clinical safety evidence
- Known sub-processors (our datacenter) listed clearly
For an NHS-facing AI product, this is typically an easier story than describing hyperscale cloud sub-processor chains to a Caldicott Guardian.
