Before you publish your assessment on the Information Governance Toolkit website, there are few things you should be aware of...
Can my assessment be un-published?
A published IG Toolkit assessment represents evidence of the organisation's attainment against the IG requirements at a particular point in time. This evidence must be retained for audit purposes and cannot be overwritten by un-publishing and adjusting scores. You can, however, contact the IGT help services if a mistake has been made.
There is no save option once I have published my assessment, can adjustments be made?
IG Toolkit scores can only be adjusted if the assessment has not been published. Once you have published the assessment the facility to save new scores disappears from the screen. You must ensure you are happy with your organisation's level of compliance with the IG requirements, before you click the "Publish" button.
What happens to the assessment when it is published?
On publication the assessment goes into the public domain, which means that anyone with an Internet connection can view the assessment via the "Reports" menu.
When an IG Toolkit assessment has been published can anyone see the comments entered in the text boxes?
No. Although on publication the assessment goes into the public domain, it is only the scores that can be seen, not the comments. The comments of a particular organisation can only be seen by the authorised users of that organisation or by the central team at DH.
The most important thing to remember is that you cannot make changes once your assessment has been published, so make sure you are happy with it before you push the important button!
