Mission 6: Maintain solid, safe and secure foundations

Mission parameters

Why? •

You don ’ t need to worry, as the software you use is cyber safe and on modern reliable hardware so the risk of failure is lower. You can be confident that the software you are using is on the latest version and has all the features you need. You know that as the Trust grows the IT will grow with it, to make sure that reliability is maintained.

With an increasing reliance on Digital, and an increasing threat from cyber attacks, it is of the highest importance that the we have a reliable, modern, secure, sustainable and resilient infrastructure and data. The department must also have well - resourced teams who are competent to deliver modern digital services. A cloud first approach will be taken with a transition to cloud as it becomes more feasible and cost effective. Cyber security and data governance is a key focus to keep patient data safe. Trusts are expected to have good digital compliance and this is being considered for addition into the CQC inspection regime 5 .
