Our purpose
At DISA, our purpose is ‘giving organisations the comfort of being sure’. We believe that people determine the success of an organisation. Therefore, making safe and smart hiring decisions is crucial. With our quality-driven software and services, we help organisations build safer working environments and ensure that the best candidates are hired for each position. Ultimately, this allows organisations to deliver continuous quality and grow sustainably.
In a world that is rapidly changing and evolving, business interests and risks are increasing and prove more difficult to assess. We assist organisations with their employment screening process, ensuring that it is efficient and 100% GDPR compliant. Our deep sector knowledge and digital partner integrations help our clients maintain integrity and quality within their organisation.

Founding story
In 2009, Harm Voogt (CEO) and Job van der Weijden (CFO) founded Validata Group, and were later joined by Bart Bijkerk (COO/CTO). On February 1, 2024, DISA Global Solutions acquired Validata Group marking a significant step in the company's strategic expansion into the international background screening market. This acquisition has further expanded DISA’s global reach. Now operating with headquarters in Amsterdam and a subsidiary in Stockholm, DISA brings expert screening solutions to over 1,000 clients across Europe, including major banks, hospitals, law firms, and accountancy firms. This strategic integration strengthens DISA’s presence in Europe, enhancing our ability to provide seamless, industry-leading solutions to clients worldwide. Additionally, acknowledging the importance of adhering to stringent data protection standards, DISA and Validata Group are committed to upholding the rigorous European data protection regulations. This mutual dedication ensures the highest level of data security and privacy for clients and their candidates across all operations.
Our core values
A great company culture is built on a strong set of values. DISA’s values define who we are, how we work with partners, and how we serve our clients.
Committed
To be committed is to be part of the process; as a team and together with our clients. For us, it is crucial to stay actively involved and keep working towards a solution, instead of waiting for others to make a move.
Innovative
As an organisation and as individuals, we aim to continuously evolve. Not only do we keep improving our software and screening elements, but we focus on our business as a whole. By always moving forward, we stay at the forefront of our field.
Together
As a team, we achieve more than when we work alone. This also illustrates how we want to work with our clients, data suppliers, and partners. Co-creation will bring us further; let’s recognise each other’s strengths and combine our talents within the team.
Trust
Trust is at the core of everything we do. Every day, organisations and individuals need to be able to trust us when using our software and sharing personal data. We deeply respect the trust of our clients and our success depends on this.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility
Each year, DISA conducts thousands of screenings worldwide. This creates a commitment to operate responsibly and ensure that organisations grow sustainably.
Human focus
We believe building sustainable growth starts with your people. We help businesses build teams that are built on mutual trust and transparency. Internally, we have a deep commitment to each project and to ensuring we achieve the best possible result one screening, one employee, and one business at a time.
Our Data Protection
One of our core focuses is to protect our clients’ data. We continuously develop our approach to safeguard your employees’ privacy. Our dedicated Data Protection Officer (DPO) supervises the organisation on all (inter)national privacy laws and regulations. Validata is also ISO certified (27001 and 9001) which guarantees a secure and quality driven process and service.
International recognition of our services

Our people truly make the difference and I am exceptionally proud of how we have grown as a company to serve clients around the world. Our deep understanding and ambitious outlook continuously support us in building better work environments one business, and one hire at a time.
