Since WannaCry, the NHS has made cybersecurity a top priority. Trusts are investing in endpoint protection, network security, identity management, and incident response capabilities. DSPT compliance is mandatory and every Trust must demonstrate it to their board.
Trusts flag cyber risks on their BAF registers and publish security investment plans in board papers. But knowing which Trust is procuring what, when, and who's making the decision means reading board papers across 300+ Trusts every month.

Frequently asked questions
NHS Trusts disclose cybersecurity investments in their board papers, specifically in the Finance Report capital plans and Board Assurance Framework. Look for BAF risks related to cyber threats, DSPT compliance gaps, and IT infrastructure upgrades. These sections name budgets, timelines, and the responsible decision-maker.
DSPT stands for Data Security and Protection Toolkit. Every NHS Trust must achieve DSPT compliance annually to meet NHS England's cybersecurity standards. Trusts that flag DSPT gaps in their board papers are actively looking for solutions to meet compliance requirements, making them strong prospects for cybersecurity vendors.
Cybersecurity appears in three main places in NHS board papers: the Board Assurance Framework where cyber is listed as a strategic risk, the Digital or IT strategy update section, and the Finance Report where capital budgets for security infrastructure are allocated. Search board papers for terms like "cyber", "DSPT", "data security", and "network security".
NHS cybersecurity spending varies by Trust size and current maturity level. Individual Trust cyber budgets typically range from £200,000 to £5 million per year. NHS England has allocated additional central funding for cybersecurity improvements, and Trusts with low DSPT scores often receive targeted investment to close gaps.
The primary cybersecurity decision-maker is usually the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Chief Digital Officer, or IT Director. In Trusts without a dedicated CISO, the Chief Information Officer or Director of Digital typically owns cyber risk. These names appear in board papers alongside the BAF risks they are responsible for managing.
