Legal disclaimers

Relationship disclosure

The assessor currently operating under DSI 001, Attestra Pty Ltd, is under common control with the operator of the Custara evidence product. That relationship is disclosed on every report Attestra issues. The Institute that publishes and governs the standard sits outside that ownership group.

Assessor relationships and independence disclosures are published so reliance parties can weigh a result with the relationship in view.

Status and limits

A GBI result is authentic only when issued by an assessor authorised by Decision Standards Institute under the DSI 001 scheme, against the methodology. A DSI 001 result expresses an assessment, at a point in time, of how a specific deployment is governed, on the evidence assessed. It does not determine legal compliance, regulatory approval, insurability, creditworthiness, or the discharge of fiduciary duties. It provides a scoped governance classification and evidence record that may be relevant to those analyses, and is valid only within the windows stated on the report.

Reliance and verification

To confirm that a result is genuine and current, check the entry reference against the public register, or confirm directly with the issuing assessor.

If you cannot confirm a result in the register, contact the Institute at enquiries@decision-standards-institute.org before relying on it.
