Disposal Services Authority

Developed by Commerce Media, the Disposal Services Authority’s (DSA) online transactional portal – eDisposals.com – was the first database of this type that had been hosted outside the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) internal restricted network. In order to satisfy the MoD’s high security standards, the DSA decided to deploy a two-factor authentication (2FA) solution.

Celo was selected by the DSA as it offered a cost-effective, quick and simple to deploy solution without the need for additional software or hardware. It was also easy to manage and adaptable to future changes in user numbers. Most importantly, Celo provided robust security for all users logging onto the website over and above a standard ‘name and password’ procedure that could be more easily subverted.

In Celo, Commerce Media has provided the DSA with a simple yet highly practical solution that gives the organisation confidence that its systems remain protected against unwarranted intrusion. A continuous cycle of independent third party testing by QinetiQ confirms that eDisposals.com complies with the highest standards set by the Defence Security Standards Organisation. The product has been employed successfully by the DSA since January 2007 and Commerce’s Media’s contract with the DSA is ongoing.

Celo has been voted a finalist in the SC Magazine Europe annual awards 2009.
