Overview
The Joint Cyber Unit (JCU) is a collaboration between the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England (NHSE). The JCU is embedded within the Digital Policy Unit (DPU), a unit comprising both DHSC staff and NHSE staff intended to design, plan and build a digitally enabled, data driven and safe health and social care system with ministers and the NHS.
The purpose of the JCU is to provide strategic leadership in cyber security across the health and care sector, assure the cyber security of the sector, act as system stewards to improve cyber resilience across the health and care system and to provide advice which empowers health and care staff to share information appropriately and securely to deliver care.
The JCU Is Comprised Of Two Divisions
* Governance, Risk and Compliance – cyber and information governance, system engagement, system compliance, system supply chain, system risk management and internal JCU business operations.
* Strategy and Policy – development and implementation of national strategy, policy and regulation.
The purpose of the Compliance and Engagement team is to monitor performance and assess the cyber security compliance of organisations across the Health and Care landscape, identifying where organisations need more support through providing evidence-based confidence in the effectiveness of cyber security controls, processes and systems.
* Evaluating compliance against statutory, regulatory and NHS requirements such as Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT), Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations and national security policies.
