The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the definition of a ‘public body’ under the Data Protection Act 2018 requires dental practices who carry out NHS work to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

This legal obligation presents an enormous challenge for small health practices because at first glance it can seem impossible to meet the requirements. The BDA’s attempts to lobby government to overturn this were unsuccessful.

VaultConnect have applied their process and compliance expertise with a simple technology solution that is designed to fulfil the needs of small health practices who offer NHS dental treatment.

We have also teamed up with RightPath4 to help us better understand the needs of the independent dental practice – and in return for their help and assistance we are delighted to be able to offer discounted support services to RightPath4 clients.

Our DPO Support Service provides reassurance to staff appointed to the role of DPO within independent Dental Practices.

The service ensures they are supported in their role and that the practice remains compliant.

The VaultConnect approach rapidly establishes:

• A robust Record of Processing Activities (GDPR Article 30) – which becomes a living and breathing document
• A comprehensive view of Risks, existing Controls, Gaps and requirement for action
• Ownership and engagement – making compliance part of everyday culture rather than a box-ticking exercise

Each practice is provided with their own ComplianceVault which allows them to manage their GDPR Documentation and follow our simple 9-steps to compliance process.

Getting started and becoming fully compliant couldn’t be simpler:

1. Buy your plan at GoCardless (use the links in the table on this page selecting monthly or annual payment) and register your practice

The VaultConnect DPO Solution has been developed to allow small independent dental practices achieve compliance and work together to achieve common best practice – all under the guidance of a master Data Protection Officer.

The same methodology, tools and support can be adapted to provide groups of practices with an effective Data Protection Officer solution, greater flexibility / agility and savings against a traditional out-sourced named DPO solution.

The VaultConnect solution has been designed with the objective of helping small health practices achieve compliance and own their processes.    The proven methodology (9 Steps to Compliance) is based on the principles of risk management and elements of ISO 27001.
