FrameOne — Healthcare & Public Sector

Every NHS organisation faces the same annual compliance reckoning. Most are still preparing for it with spreadsheets and Word documents that were out of date before they were finished.

The Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission is due every year. CQC inspectors are asking harder questions about digital maturity and operational resilience. NHS cyber requirements are tightening across the entire supply chain. The organisations that answer these questions confidently are not doing more work — they are maintaining a live operational model that produces the evidence continuously, not assembling it under pressure.

The problem

Where healthcare compliance breaks down

01

Your DSPT submission describes a business that no longer exists

Asset registers, BC plans, risk assessments, and supplier records are maintained separately, go out of sync, and require significant effort to reconcile every year. Auditors and assessors are increasingly looking for evidence of continuous governance, not annual documentation.

02

Your continuity plans and your systems have never met

When a critical clinical system fails during winter pressures or a bank holiday weekend, the people responding are working from documents that may not reflect the current environment. The knowledge they need is in someone's head, not in a system.

03

NHS cyber requirements are cascading down your supply chain

If you provide managed services to NHS organisations, your clients are now required to evidence your resilience posture as part of their own DSPT and procurement obligations. Supplier assurance questionnaires that took days to answer manually can be answered from a live model in minutes.

04

Generic tools cannot model the risk that clinical periods carry

A system failure during winter pressures, a bank holiday, or an elective recovery surge is categorically more severe than one on a quiet Tuesday in August. Most continuity tools treat every day the same. Clinical environments do not.

What FrameOne delivers

What it means for your next submission

FrameOne is a Resilience Operating Platform designed for organisations that carry real compliance obligations under DSPT, CQC, and NHS cyber requirements — and cannot afford to treat them as annual exercises. It produces evidence as a continuous byproduct of how you govern, not as a periodic scramble before the submission window opens.

DSPT evidence that is a continuous output of how you govern your organisation

The operational resilience standards within DSPT — continuity planning, risk management, supplier assurance, incident records — are addressed by the same model you use every day. The evidence is there when the submission window opens, not assembled under pressure to meet it.

CQC Well-led evidence that reflects your actual operational maturity

The digital and information governance dimensions of CQC inspection are answered by the same model you use every day, not assembled retrospectively when an inspection notice arrives.

Supplier assurance responses generated in minutes

When an NHS client sends a resilience questionnaire, FrameOne produces the evidence pack from the live model — dependency mapping, BC plans, risk register, incident history, audit trail. Not a manual exercise measured in days.

Business continuity plans that stay current because they are connected to the live model

When a system changes, a supplier changes, or a team restructures, the operational context the plan depends on stays current. Continuity documentation is not a separate discipline — it is a view of the live model.

Critical period awareness built into the model

Define your high-risk periods — winter pressures, bank holidays, elective recovery windows — and FrameOne models the elevated recovery targets and tighter tolerances that apply during those windows. Reports and gap assessments reflect the higher bar, not a single year-round average.

Incident response that works regardless of who is available

Clinical environments cannot afford response capability that depends on one person being reachable. FrameOne puts the operational knowledge in the system, not in individuals — so whoever responds has current runbooks, dependencies, and escalation paths in front of them.

Getting started does not require a blank-sheet exercise

FrameOne can read your existing documentation — DSPT submissions, BC plans, system inventories, risk registers — and propose an initial model from what you already have. Operational clarity in days, not months.

Who this is for

Healthcare and public sector organisations with real compliance obligations

NHS trusts and foundation trusts

Managing annual DSPT obligations, CQC inspection readiness, and NHS cyber requirements across complex clinical and operational environments where evidence must be current, not assembled under pressure.

Independent healthcare providers

Private hospitals, care home groups, and diagnostic networks facing CQC inspection and UK GDPR obligations — where the same evidence bar applies regardless of whether you sit inside or outside the NHS.

Healthcare MSPs

Managed IT service providers delivering services to NHS organisations, who face supplier assurance requirements from their clients as part of DSPT and NHS cyber obligations. See FrameOne for MSPs for how one instance supports your entire NHS client base.

Public sector organisations on HSCN

Public sector bodies connected to the Health and Social Care Network who need to evidence operational resilience to NHS clients and commissioners as procurement and assurance requirements tighten across the supply chain.

If you deliver managed services to NHS organisations

Your NHS clients need evidence of your resilience. FrameOne is how you provide it.

Your NHS clients are required under DSPT and NHS cyber obligations to evidence the resilience of their critical suppliers. FrameOne gives you the operational model, the live evidence, and the client-facing transparency layer to satisfy those requirements — and to win contracts that less well-governed competitors cannot.

One FrameOne instance supports your entire NHS client base. Each client sees only their own model, their own status page, and their own compliance evidence.

Built by someone who understands the NHS supply chain

FrameOne was built by someone who ran technology and assurance at Redcentric — a managed service provider whose client base includes NHS organisations with live DSPT, CQC, and NHS cyber obligations.

The supplier assurance questionnaires, the annual DSPT evidence scramble, and the gap between documented continuity plans and actual system dependencies were operational realities, not abstract problems. FrameOne is the platform we needed and couldn't find.

Register your interest

Apply for the pilot programme

FrameOne is currently available through a structured pilot programme. We're working with a small number of NHS organisations, independent healthcare providers, and healthcare MSPs to validate the platform against real compliance obligations — DSPT, CQC, and NHS cyber — and to shape the healthcare-specific roadmap.

Pilot places are limited. Tell us which framework is most pressing and we'll confirm whether the fit is right.

This helps us confirm the pilot is the right fit for your organisation.
