What DTAC is for.
DTAC is an NHS assessment framework for digital health technologies. Its review areas include clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, usability and accessibility.
Health assurance
NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria
Digital health assurance is cross-functional. A product can be technically impressive and still be unsuitable for NHS use if its clinical risks, data handling, integration behaviour or accessibility have not been evidenced.

How we work with it
Make the obligation usable.
- Establish the intended use, users, care setting, integrations and assurance boundary.
- Coordinate clinical-safety, data-protection, security, interoperability and usability evidence.
- Turn open assessment questions into delivery actions, owners and reviewable artefacts.
What we can leave behind
Evidence a reviewer can follow.

- Clinical-safety and data-protection evidence map
- Interoperability and usability review
Concrete delivery evidence
How this showed up in client work.
The current public project material does not record a completed DTAC assessment by name. It does record the adjacent evidence used in the regulated health platform—Cyber Essentials, NHS DSPT, DCB 0129, DCB 0160, a DPIA, interoperability work and client review material—so this page keeps the claim at assessment and delivery support rather than asserting a completed DTAC outcome.
