WARNING: You’ll hate the DTAC Squirrel™ if…

We’ve helped innovators exactly like you go from confused to motivated. See how!

You crave the thrill of manual work.

Automating your evidence generation with Squirrel™ might free up too much time for innovation (yikes!).

You enjoy navigating complexity.

Our clear step-by-step guidance might make DTAC compliance too easy and understandable (the struggle is real!).

Deadlines are your motivator.

Squirrel™ helps you meet deadlines with ease, potentially eliminating that last-minute scramble some find so invigorating.

You could get compliance assistance from a number of places.

Compliance consultancies

Will reduce some barriers to market entry and
provide guidance for DTAC...

But

Might not be very start-up friendly, and will definitely cost an arm and a leg.

Other compliance platforms

Will simplify compliance requirements and save you some time...

But

Might not underwrite your compliance evidence to guarantee that you will pass external audits and assessments.

Reasons Squirrel™ is the best of both worlds:

As smart as a consulting company. As affordable as a compliance platform. Better than both.

Backed by the most knowledgeable experts across every compliance area.
Embeds a culture of compliance, so you don’t keep running into regulatory roadblocks.
Built for healthtech (DTAC, HIPAA, MDR and ISO standards)
Guarantees your product gets approved by the NHS, with the industry’s only recognised seal of compliance.

And we warranty all of your evidence, meaning...

If your Squirrel™ generated evidence file isn’t accepted by any reviewing body, we will remedy all of it free of charge!
We can even work with the procuring authority to help them fully understand your evidence file and get your assessment done in time!
ALL of this work will be free of charge and completed within 5 working days.

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.
