Navigating digital health compliance is daunting - multiple frameworks, evolving strict regulations, and slow manual processes can stall innovation and drain resources. Here are a few of the biggest challenges...
Digital health companies often struggle to meet requirements across GDPR, NHS DTAC, DSPT, DCB0129, ISO standards and more.
Endless spreadsheets, scattered documentation, and repetitive tasks slow you down.
Overlooking clinical hazards or cybersecurity gaps can compromise patient safety and erode trust.
Hiring or training in-house teams or outsourcing everything can be both slow and expensive, especially for SMEs.
Keeping pace with frequent changes in digital health requirements is challenging and creates compliance blind spots.
Without centralised evidence and automated process, preparing for certifications or external reviews is stressful and time-consuming.

Kelly Klifa
CEO at Heim
Assuric has been transformative for Heim as we looked to achieve DCB0129 and DTAC compliance. The platform is easy to use, and the AI tools and automated reminders make previously dreaded compliance tasks a breeze. Paul and Matt supported us every step of the way.
Katie Baker
Director UK & Ireland at Tandem
Assuric has been fantastic in helping us quickly and safely navigate regulatory compliance in the UK. From completing Cybersecurity requirements to DSPT, DCB0129, and DTAC, the team was supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and the platform made everything quick and straightforward. A separate regulatory company we consulted at the beginning even remarked on how quickly we achieved compliance!
Maks Kozarzewski
COO at VitVio
We couldn't speak highly enough of both the Assuric team and the platform itself, which is incredibly easy to use, and with the skill and hardworking nature of the Assuric team. They've been a key component in accelerating our progress and deployments!
Maja Mazur
CEO at Healthnix
Assuric has been such a blessing in getting our DTAC and GDPR compliance done - completing all the documentation and deciding what needs to be done whilst running the business is very hard, but the team really helped us through that. The platform is easy to use, helps keep track of things and it even allows us to coordinate all the team training easily. Highly recommend them!
Dean Mawson
Clinical Director at DPM
Assuric streamlines the process of achieving and maintaining compliance with DCB0129 standards for digital health technologies. The user-friendly interface simplifies collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, while the built-in templates and workflows save significant time and effort during compliance projects. Assuric’s ability to centralise documentation and provide real-time visibility into project progress is particularly beneficial for Clinical Safety Officers and digital project teams, enhancing both efficiency and assurance.
