of Global Infrastructure

Layered Security. Uncompromised Uptime.

To earn the trust of enterprise, healthcare, and government tenants, you must demonstrate a rigorous commitment to physical security and operational resilience. We provide the technical depth and professional reporting required to satisfy your tenants' most demanding due diligence.

Data Center Compliance Services

Essential Compliance for Data Centers & Colocation

Your tenants’ compliance is built on top of yours. We provide the foundational reports that allow your customers to satisfy their own regulatory requirements.

SOC 2® (Security & Availability)

The standard for colocation trust. We provide independent verification of your physical access controls, environmental safeguards (fire/water), and system availability. A SOC 2® Type 2 report is often the first document a prospective tenant will request during their vendor review.

ISO 27001 Compliance

For facilities serving global markets, ISO 27001 is the gold standard for validating your Information Security Management System (ISMS). We provide the technical reviews and verification required to prove that your security governance is integrated into every layer of your operational workflow.

PCI DSS (Physical & Network Security)

If your tenants process payment data, your facility must meet the physical security requirements of PCI DSS. We verify your perimeter security, camera retention, and visitor logging to ensure your environment supports your tenants' "Report on Compliance."

HIPAA Risk Assessment (Physical Safeguards)

For facilities hosting healthcare data, we provide the technical reviews needed to verify the physical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule. As a "Business Associate," your facility must prove that Protected Health Information (PHI) is shielded from unauthorized physical access. We validate your biometric entry points, 24/7 surveillance protocols, and rack-level security measures, ensuring your facility meets the current standards for healthcare data sovereignty.

NIST Compliance (Physical & Environmental)

For facilities supporting federal agencies or defense contractors, alignment with NIST is a baseline requirement. We verify the rigorous physical and environmental controls mandated by the federal government, including "mantrap" access systems, secure media destruction protocols, and redundant power and cooling resilience. Our technical reports provide the objective evidence your tenants need to satisfy their federal examiners and maintain their contract eligibility.

The Auditwerx Advantage: Test Once, Report Many

Maximize Efficiency. Minimize Disruption.

Data center operators are often hit with a barrage of individual tenant “security questionnaires.” Our methodology solves this by creating a unified “Control Baseline” that satisfies multiple frameworks at once.

We verify your technical and physical controls, such as biometric entry, UPS redundancy, and CCTV coverage, one time. We then apply that evidence across your SOC 2®, ISO, and PCI reports. This approach reduces the “review fatigue” on your facility managers and provides a single, high-quality documentation package for all your tenants.

Data Center Compliance FAQ

How do our reports help our tenants with their own compliance?

When your tenants undergo a review (like a SOC 2®), they can “carve out” the physical and environmental controls that your facility provides. Our report serves as the official evidence they need to prove those controls are being managed by a professional and verified provider.

Yes. For data centers, the physical security and environmental controls in SOC 2® map directly to the Annex A controls of ISO 27001. We help you identify these overlaps so you can maintain both standards through a single, streamlined verification engagement.

Enterprise and government tenants rarely sign a lease without seeing a SOC 2® Type 2 report. By having this report ready, you bypass their lengthy security questionnaires and provide immediate “Proof of Resilience.” This accelerates the procurement process and positions your facility as a low-risk, “ready-now” partner.

Physical controls focus on access, ensuring only authorized personnel reach the data hall via mantraps, biometrics, and 24/7 CCTV. Environmental controls focus on uptime, validating your UPS redundancy, generator testing, and moisture detection. Our reports provide technical verification for both, ensuring a complete picture of facility integrity.

If your tenants process payment data, your facility is part of their “Cardholder Data Environment.” We verify the specific physical requirements of PCI DSS, such as 90-day camera retention and visitor log integrity. Providing this verification allows your tenants to satisfy their Quality Security Assessors (QSAs) without requiring additional facility walkthroughs.

With the expansion of federal cloud mandates, any facility hosting Department of Defense (DoD) or federal agency data must align with the NIST framework. We help you verify the rigorous “High” or “Moderate” baseline controls required for these tenants, ensuring your facility is eligible for the most sensitive government contracts.

Since your tenants may have different fiscal year ends, a Bridge Letter (or Gap Letter) provides them with a signed statement that your controls haven’t changed since your last report. We help you manage this cycle, so your tenants always have current, defensible evidence for their own reviewers.
