Data First
NHS Digital’s primary goals include helping organisations make better use of health and care information and ensuring that everyone’s data is protected. The provision of the NHS Digital Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) is key to achieving these aims.
The combined Computacenter and Cisco team’s expertise and commitment meant we were able to meet the tight project deadline. By enhancing NHS Digital’s security capabilities, we’ve been able to reduce the risk of threats and disruption to patient care.
