DP Direct has been awarded the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) DataSeal standard as a result of rigorous assessments examining whether the company has implemented appropriate information security measures.
The DataSeal was launched in January by DMA in conjunction with BSi and is the only recognised standard for information security management systems.
The qualification looks at a number of areas within data security including risk assessment, management responsibility, traceability and responsibility of data, virus/spy prevention, internet/network security, system/server security and data storage & elimination. Security is a very important topic, especially for email marketing providers.
Being awarded the DataSeal accreditation guarantees that DP Direct’s client’s will benefit from the highest standard of safe and secure products when dealing with data.
Nick Claxson, Managing Director said: ‘We’re delighted to have received this accreditation. Data security has always been central to everything we do at DP Direct and is top of the agenda for all of our clients.’
