ADISA Standard 8.0 Certified ITAD DIAL 3 (Distinction)

Blackmore UK becomes the first to be recertified to ADISA Standard 8.0 at DIAL 3 Distinction

Retired devices still carry risk.

Laptops, desktops, servers, storage and mobiles can hold sensitive data long after they have been taken out of service and once they leave your building, you need more than reassurance. You need a process that’s secure, auditable, and provable.

That is why we are proud to share that Blackmore UK has been recertified to ADISA ICT Asset Recovery Standard 8.0 at DIAL 3 with Distinction and most recently, we became the first company in the UK to be recertified at this level.

What “DIAL 3 (Distinction)” actually means

Standard 8.0 introduced DIAL (Data Impact Assurance Level) to match the level of service to the level of data risk.

Your DIAL level reflects factors such as:

The sensitivity and volume of the data involved
The impact a breach would have on your organisation
Your risk tolerance and governance requirements

DIAL 3 is designed for organisations that need the most comprehensive measures for secure handling and processing. Add Distinction, and you are looking at the highest level of assurance within that model.

Why recertification matters

Anyone can put “secure” on a website.

Recertification is different. It shows the standard is not a one off achievement it is being maintained, with controls and processes that remain consistent over time.

What this means for your organisation

Choosing an ADISA certified ITAD means choosing proven data security, audit ready compliance, and measurable ESG outcomes.
