FREE Compliance STATUS CHECK

First things first. Let’s find out where you stand.

Have questions?

I don’t even know where to start!

Squirrel™ was built for all innovators, no matter what step they’re on!

Start by finding out where you are right now with our Compliance status check.

We’ll develop a roadmap that takes you to full compliance in a (surprisingly) short amount of time. Our goal is to make the DTAC process straightforward, even for beginners!

I only need help with Clinical Safety and DCB 0129. Is that covered?

We have you covered! With Squirrel™ standard plan, you get the complete guide on everything you need for the DCB 0129 standard and clinical risk assessment of your innovation.

If you need a Clinical Safety Officer, then Pro is the Squirrel™ for you!

Is a 12 month contract mandatory?

We get it. We're committed to helping startups bring their awesome innovations to market. So you can pay us monthly, but a 12 month minimum contract is mandatory (unless you qualify for the Starter Plan!)

Before onboarding you to Squirrel™, we'll advise you on the best Squirrel™ package for your needs.

Do I need a Clinical Safety Officer?

Squirrel™ Pro comes with your own human Clinical Safety Officer! Request a demo to find out more!

My product is a medical device, can Squirrel™ help me?

Yes! With Squirrel™ Pro, we will work to ensure you know your medical device status, classify your medical device against UK and EU regulation and help you set a path to full conformance.

How do I ensure I stay compliant in the long-term?

Got you covered. We’ve made it a point to incorporate features that help you stay compliant in the long run! Squirrel™ is built by a team with over 100+ years combined healthtech expertise. We know the exact steps you need to take to keep up with the NHS compliance processes.

I'm stuck halfway through DTAC and have deadlines approaching. Can you help?

No worries. We can take over at ANY point in your compliance journey. Our AI-powered platform will assess your current compliance evidence, then get you step-by-step directions to all-round DTAC governance— cutting down your time-to-market.

Do I need a DPIA?

You can confidently cover all responsibilities regarding Data Protection and Privacy. It’s very simple— Squirrel™ will gather all the relevant information you need, and afterwards, our experts will construct a gold standard Data Privacy Risk Assessment for you.

What if the NHS decides to change up the regulations?

Squirrel™ is always up to date with the latest DTAC requirements and will help you transition from one version of the regulation to the next!

We have a Clinical Safety Officer, so how do we work with Squirrel™?

With your own CSO in place, you are good to go with DCB 0129! You can directly use Squirrel™ to help you generate the key artefacts required.
