Planning and risk analysis: the first step towards successful EN 50600 certification
As data centers have very different designs, their needs also vary in terms of availability, security measures and energy efficiency requirements. Individual adaptation of the building design, energy distribution, cooling generation and distribution, telecommunications cabling and physical security is necessary to meet these requirements.
Before planning a data center, a concept is therefore developed. This involves determining the risks, including possible service outages, financial penalties, consequential damage and loss of reputation.
The risk analysis quantifies the threats in a risk matrix in terms of their impact and probability of occurrence. Based on this, the right decisions can be made to minimize these dangers.
Functionality and risk analysis more important than certified technology
The emergence of cyber insurance has led to changes in IT security requirements. Rapid technological developments, particularly in hardware and software, play a key role in this. Due to these rapid developments, cyber insurers do not focus on individual systems or manufacturers. Instead, they expect certain functionalities. Insurers are now also adopting this approach for the area of physical security. Companies must prove that they have taken appropriate security measures, regardless of the manufacturers or systems used, in order to minimize potential damage.
Simplified certification process
The systems, products or processes used do not play a role in EN 50600 certification. What counts is the functionality of the data center. It looks closely at whether a thorough risk analysis has been carried out and whether the data center is appropriately equipped to deal with possible dangers. The TÜV data center certification is also based on this standard.
Kentix and DeRZ Deutsche Rechenzentren GmbH also follow this approach. Both companies attach great importance to ensuring that the security functions are fulfilled in the best possible way - because the use of certified technology alone does not guarantee secure operation. A data center that is planned and built by DeRZ Deutsche Rechenzentrum GmbH and equipped with IoT-based physical security technology from Kentix can be certified by TÜV in accordance with EN 50600. This makes the entire process considerably easier and simpler.
