ISO/IEC 27001 Implementation Services

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), designed to help organisations protect sensitive information, manage cyber risks, and ensure data security.

Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification requires a structured approach to risk management, information security controls, and continuous improvement.

Patient Guard acts as your ISO 27001 consultancy partner, guiding you through the full implementation process—from gap analysis to certification—ensuring a secure and efficient route to compliance.

Without a structured ISMS, organisations face increased risks of data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.

Whether implementing ISO 27001 for the first time or transitioning to the latest version, we ensure a streamlined and compliant approach.

DCB0129 and Clinical Safety: What Digital Health Manufacturers Need for NHS DTAC

September 17, 2026 No Comments

For digital health manufacturers preparing to enter the NHS, clinical safety can be one of the most important—and sometimes misunderstood—parts of DTAC.
It is not enough to demonstrate that your software works.
Manufacturers need to consider what could happen if the technology fails, produces incorrect information, presents information incorrectly, contributes to a workflow error or is used in circumstances that could expose patients to harm.
This is where clinical risk management and DCB0129 become particularly important.
NHS England identifies DCB0129 as the clinical risk management standard for manufacturers of health IT systems. Its counterpart, DCB0160, applies to health organisations deploying and using health IT systems. NHS England states that compliance with these standards is required under the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
For manufacturers working towards NHS DTAC readiness, understanding the distinction—and having the right clinical safety evidence—is essential.

DTAC Requirements Explained: The 5 Areas Digital Health Manufacturers Need to Get Right

September 14, 2026 No Comments

If your digital health technology is heading towards the NHS, understanding the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) should be part of your market-access planning.
But one of the biggest mistakes manufacturers can make is treating DTAC as simply another questionnaire to complete.
The questions are only part of the process.
Behind your answers needs to be evidence showing that your technology and organisation have appropriate arrangements for clinical safety, data protection, technical security, interoperability, and usability and accessibility.
These five areas form the core of NHS DTAC. NHS England describes DTAC as national baseline criteria for digital health technologies entering NHS and social care.
For digital health manufacturers, the practical question is therefore not simply:
“Can we complete the DTAC assessment?”
It is:
“Can we demonstrate that our product meets the requirements?”
This guide looks at each of the five DTAC areas, the types of evidence manufacturers should consider and some of the common gaps that can delay NHS readiness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with the Patient Guard team has been a great experience throughout our MHRA and ISO 13485 documentation journey. Their expertise, structured approach, and practical guidance helped our team build a robust quality management system while keeping us aligned with regulatory expectations. The collaboration was professional, responsive, and focused on finding solutions rather than simply identifying issues. A special thank you to Alex and Steve for their outstanding coordination, responsiveness, and continuous support throughout the project. They were always approachable, provided valuable feedback, and worked closely with our team to resolve challenges efficiently. Their commitment made a significant difference in keeping our documentation effort on track. I highly recommend Patient Guard to any healthcare or MedTech organization looking for experienced regulatory and quality system partners for MHRA, ISO 13485, and broader medical device compliance initiatives. Thank you again to the entire Patient Guard team for being such reliable partners.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. STEPPER design, manufacture & distribute eyewear across the globe.  With the increasingly complex landscape concerning the placing of Mecial Devices onto the market, we realised we needed professional guidance. We found Patient Guard via a simple internet search and are delighted we did! They provide a pragmatic solution to our needs, are totally reliable & always available to answer our (often simplistic) questions. They are highly efficient & responsive to what is a changing picture in our world and nothing is too much trouble. We have a much better understanding of regulatory affairs and our responsibilities as manufacturers & distributors and they support us in navigating the requirements in different territories. Updating our Declaration of Conformity, ensuring our labelling is compliant and acting as our PRRC are the key areas of their service for us.
