Access by role and relationship
Permissions are designed around responsibilities and legitimate care context, with regular review in mind.
Security and privacy
Trust is designed into the workflow.
Security is not a badge added at the end. It is a set of product, technical and operational decisions made throughout delivery.
Lessunnecessary data, fewer unclear permissions and fewer hidden dependencies create a product that is easier to protect and operate.
Purpose-led data
Fields, retention and exports are mapped to an explicit service need.
Auditable activity
Important changes and actions can be traced with context appropriate to the service.
Operational response
Monitoring, incident routes and ownership are agreed before launch.
Delivery controls
Questions answered before launch.
| Question | Expected answer |
|---|---|
| Who owns each type of data? | Roles and responsibilities are documented across the service and suppliers. |
| What can each user role see and change? | Access rules are testable and reviewed against real workflow scenarios. |
| How is a security event identified and handled? | Monitoring, severity, contacts and response steps are defined. |
| What happens when a dependency fails? | The user experience, retry behaviour and operational fallback are understood. |
| How is the product safely changed? | Changes pass through review, testing and controlled deployment appropriate to risk. |
Important: Specific regulatory, clinical safety, information governance and assurance requirements depend on the product, intended use, users and deployment setting. These are scoped with the responsible organisation and relevant specialists.
