DSI 001 · For regulators and policy teams

Every regime asks the same question

None issues a portable answer. DSI 001 is a structured evidence and classification layer that maps to governance, documentation and accountability expectations across jurisdictions. It is not a substitute for legal compliance, conformity assessment or regulatory approval.

What a classification layer adds

  • A common vocabulary across jurisdictions for the governance posture of a specific system.
  • An evidence record graded by tier, weighting contemporaneous evidence over reconstructed.
  • A clear statement, per regime, of what the classification does and does not establish.

Reference the standard

Read how DSI 001 is structured, and what it does and does not establish in relation to each regime.

Status and limits. DSI 001 is positioned as evidence relevant to these regimes, never as a determination of compliance with them. A GBI score carries evidential value only when issued by an accredited DSI 001 assessor against the methodology; self-scored or indicative figures are not DSI 001 results. DSI 001 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.
