Founded in 2010, ADISA Certification Limited (Formerly called The Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance ) is a certification body for companies who provide IT Asset Disposal services and to manufacturers and developers of software and hardware data sanitisation solutions.^[1][2]

The ADISA Asset Recovery Standard (for service providers) is an industry standard. The audit team, based in Hertfordshire, has performed over 500 audits in 17 counties since its inception.^{[citation needed]} In July 2021, the ADISA ICT Asset Recovery Standard 8.0 was formally approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office as a UK GDPR Certification Scheme.^{[citation needed]}

In 2019, ADISA brought the forensic testing in house and launched the ADISA Research Centre (ARC). The ARC delivers the product certification schemes for software and hardware data sanitization tools. The ADISA Product Claims and Product Assurance Schemes are different levels of product testing for data sanitization tools.  

·        The Product Claims Test (PCT) scientifically evaluates the claim behind the data sanitization capabilities of a software or hardware device to determine its validity.

·        The Product Assurance Test offers a higher level of assurance than the PCT; it requires a larger sample size to be forensically analysed and measures the vendors of the software or hardware device against a range of requirements.

ADISA won the 2020 Computer Security Magazine - One to Watch award to follow up on previous wins including 2019 Computer Security Compliance Company of the year^[3] award and Training Provider of the Year (2015).^[4] The ADISA Standard is recognised as an industry standard of merit by the UK Defence Infosec Product Co-Operation Group (DIPCOG)^[2] and listed on the National Cyber Security Centre’s guidance for companies when disposing of IT assets.^[5]

ADISA maintains a YouTube channel called "ADISA Media Centre" where they provide latest information from the group in various formats.
