Quick summary
  • Assuric tracks the frameworks your workspace needs, some done once for your organisation and some per product.
  • Each product you map frameworks to gets its own copy of the tasks that repeat per product, so your workload grows with every product.
  • You redo Cyber Essentials and DSPT every year, but your progress carries over to each new version.

​
What a framework is

A framework is a compliance standard Assuric tracks for you. Each one is broken down into:
  • Requirements: the standard’s wording, word for word, which you can’t edit.
  • Tasks: the work that meets the requirements, which you can edit.
Each framework comes with recommended tasks mapped to its requirements. If they don’t fit, create your own tasks or map tasks you already have from another framework. To open a framework, click Frameworks under Compliance in the sidebar, or open its area: Clinical Safety, Privacy & Security, Quality or Clinical Governance. If a framework you’re expecting is missing, get in touch with our team!

​
Organisation-wide and per-product work

Assuric enables each framework once for your workspace, and after that you do each task once for your organisation or once for each product. When you map frameworks to a product, you choose from the first two groups. That gives the product its own copy of every per-product task, so the work grows with each product you add.

​
Due dates and renewals

To set a due date or repeating schedule:
  • On a task: set a due date and recurrence.
  • For a whole framework: click the calendar button on its page to open Framework Schedule, where you set the Due Date and Recurrence (for DSPT, Annually).
A Cyber Essentials certificate lasts 12 months, so to renew it answer Renewal rather than First Time Application in the questionnaire. DSPT publishes a new toolkit version each year, and you submit against it again.

​
Framework-specific additions

When DSPT, DTAC or Cyber Essentials moves to a new version, your progress and gaps carry over. For internal audits, see Audit and review records and Give an auditor access.
