Certifications
Certifications for data centres, information security and energy management: from DIN EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237 through ISO 27001, ISO 50001 and CISIS12 to our own Sustainable Data Center (SDC) scheme with 301 criteria – with clearly defined scopes, documented findings and your operations in mind.
Assess what matters. Make results transparent.
Data centre certification makes defined requirements for infrastructure, availability, information security and operating processes assessable. A clear scope, traceable evidence and an unambiguous statement of what has been evaluated are essential.
Whether you operate an enterprise data centre, colocation facility or critical infrastructure, we work with you to identify the appropriate assessment basis. DIN EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237 address data centre infrastructure; management systems and other assessment schemes have different objectives. We distinguish these areas in both the proposal and the findings report.
High Knowledge supports you from the initial assessment and action planning through to the audit. Certification documents the outcome within the agreed scope. Requirements for your specific operations, including legal obligations, are considered separately.
Sustainable Data Center (SDC) is High Knowledge’s own certification system. It assesses data centres against documented criteria and evidence, making results and areas for action transparent. Environmental statements relate to the scope actually assessed and the results substantiated.
