Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All tasks are tracked through a Jira project management system, before being thoroughly assessed for Data Security Protection compliance. Once the task is completed, its progress is tracked through a cloud-based version control system. A template table, according to Section 1.1 of DSPT (Information Asset Register and Record of Processing Activities) is used for monitoring changes.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Risk assessments to identify and mitigate issues are carried out to ensure compliance with DSP Section 7 (Continuity Planning). An annual review is conducted of all active accounts to ascertain whether access controls are being governed appropriately and access will be restricted if necessary to prevent vulnerabilities in data security (DSPT Section 4 - Managing Data Access).
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
As specified in the DSP documentation (Section 6 - Responding to Incidents), all incidents and near-misses which arise must be reported. This is done via the Incident Report Form sent to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) followed by a management meeting, from which appropriate action is taken. All staff have received training on how to find, fill out and submit the Form. Incidents must subsequently be submitted through the Incident Reporting Tool by the DPO.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
As specified in the Information Governance documentation, section 14.1 - 320 (Incident management and reporting), all incidents and near-misses which arise must be reported. This is done via the Incident Report Form sent to the IG lead, followed by a management meeting, from which appropriate action is taken.

Social Value

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

Damibu Feeds has been used extensively by NHS Primary Care organisations to improve how important information is delivered to citizens quickly whilst reducing the effort required for frontline NHS staff.

Damibu Feeds helps citizens get access to accurate, up-to-date information on their local GP website.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

The mission of Damibu Feeds is to improve the availability and accessibility of information for everyone. Existing methods for sharing information such as PDF documents, exclude portions of the population because these documents are created for desktop computers. The experience is poor for those who may only have access to a mobile device, and accessibility tools often don’t work with PDFs. Damibu Feeds uses a plain html format meaning it offers an equal experience across all digital devices and works with accessibility tools such as screen readers, colour contrast modes, font size adaptation and even automatic translation tools such as Google Translate.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Improving the health and wellbeing of citizens is a core tenet of the Damibu Feeds platform. Damibu Feeds was developed in partnership with NHS organisations to improve how self-care information is created, managed and shared with citizens. Damibu Feeds is used by hundreds of NHS organisations to share expert-crafted content with citizens on websites that are already known and trusted to them.
