About this readiness quiz
This quiz covers the 10 National Data Guardian data security standards that the DSPT is built around. Each question maps to a specific standard, so your results show exactly where your gaps are — not just an overall score.
The quiz is designed for Category 3 (care homes, pharmacies, domiciliary care, dentists, opticians) and Category 4 (GP practices) organisations. It takes about 2 minutes and doesn't require any preparation — just answer based on your current situation.
For a comprehensive overview of what the DSPT requires, see our complete DSPT guide.
This quiz is a self-assessment planning tool — the scores are a readiness estimate based on common evidence gaps, not official DSPT scoring. It does not replicate the official DSPT assessment. Always complete your submission on the official DSPT portal.
