Data Impact Assurance Level is the new concept introduced as part of the ADISA ICT Asset Recovery Standard 8.0. It ensures the data controller can specify risk treatments which are sufficient to meet their own specific requirements.
A business should complete a DIAL rating for several reasons:
- Risk Assessment: The DIAL rating helps evaluate the risk of data breaches. By completing the DIAL questionnaire, businesses can quickly assess potential risks to their data.
- Mitigating Risk: As risk increases, businesses need to implement more measures and provide a higher level of service to safeguard against breaches. The DIAL rating guides them in making informed decisions.
- GDPR Compliance: A GDPR-compliant DIAL rating boosts confidence among customers, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. It showcases a commitment to safeguarding sensitive information, enhancing the organisation’s reputation.
To create a DIAL reference, get in touch with your ADISA-certified ITAD partner. They’ll provide you with a URL to their DIAL page. Alternatively, you can create your DIAL reference directly here. During the process, you’ll need to enter some basic personal data. ADISA Certification Limited is the Data Controller for this information, and our privacy notice applies to this data.
