From secure collection through to final disposal, our procedures, controls, and trained teams work together to deliver total confidence and peace of mind for our clients.

Find out your DIAL level

1
What is the level of threat to your business?
2
What is the level of risk that you are willing to accept, or attitude to risk?
3
What is the volume and type of data that you handle?
4
What would be the impact to your business if you were to have a breach?
Depending on the answers to those questions, your organisation would fall into one of the following categories: DIAL 1, DIAL 2 or DIAL 3. DIAL 3 is the highest of those levels. ALS are certified to DIAL 3, which means we can handle disposals at this level and all levels below it.
