The secure data center with EN 50600 / ISO 22237 certification

The demands placed on modern data centers are constantly increasing: not only do they have to be highly available and efficient, they also have to meet the highest security standards. Existing security technology is often outdated and requires a great deal of planning and installation work as well as compliance with different standards, without technologies and processes being optimally integrated.

Modern data centers therefore require integrated security solutions that meet digital requirements - including advanced access control systems, surveillance cameras, biometric identification and comprehensive security management.

Are you a data center operator looking for a flexible, simple and cost-effective security solution that meets legal requirements? Would you like to have your data center certified in accordance with ISO 22237? Together with our partners, we simplify TÜV certification to ISO 22237 for your data center considerably - a first on the market.

Planning and risk analysis: the first step towards ISO 22237 certification

As data centers have different requirements in terms of availability, security and energy efficiency, buildings, energy and cooling systems, telecommunications cabling and physical security must be individually adapted.

First, a concept is drawn up and risks such as outages, financial losses and reputational damage are analyzed. These risks are evaluated in a matrix in order to derive targeted measures to minimize risk.

Functionality and risk analysis more important than certified technology

Cyber insurance has changed the requirements for IT security. Due to the rapid development of hardware and software, insurers do not commit themselves to specific systems or manufacturers. Instead, they expect security measures that work. This approach now also applies to the area of physical security: companies must demonstrate that they have taken appropriate measures to prevent damage, regardless of which systems they use.

Simplified certification process

With EN 50600 certification, only the functionality of the data center counts, not the systems or products used. It is important that a risk analysis has been carried out and appropriate security measures have been taken. TÜV certification for data centers is also based on this standard.

Kentix and DeRZ Deutsche Rechenzentren GmbH follow this approach and attach great importance to optimal security functions. A data center planned by DeRZ and equipped with Kentix technology can be certified by TÜV in accordance with EN 50600, which makes the process considerably easier.
