ISO 27001: Your data in safe and responsible hands

Data centers: The backbone of our digital world. But what really makes a data center? Security? Absolutely. Availability? Without question. Sustainability? Indispensable. We combine these three elements in a concept that stands on a solid foundation: ISO 27001-certified security in a climate-neutral environment..

Why ISO 27001 and what does it mean for you?

ISO 27001 is not just a certificate—it is the globally recognized standard for information security. For you, this means:

• Physical security: Our infrastructure is protected by 24/7 monitoring and strict, documented processes.
• Video surveillance: At EMC Home of Data, we use comprehensive video surveillance to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive areas.
• Regular audits: Independent experts continuously review and optimize our security measures to meet the highest standards.
• Compliance made easy: We support you with evidence and documentation for your internal audits and legal requirements such as the GDPR or industry-specific regulations.

In addition, we adhere to other standards such as DIN EN 50600 for physical security and availability, which focuses on business continuity. Our data centers meet availability class VK3 and efficiency class GN3 according to DIN EN 50600. In addition, BSI IT-Grundschutz will also be a central component of our certification in the future to ensure additional security and compliance, especially in Germany. The result? A comprehensive foundation that optimally supports your IT strategy.

How does ISO 27001 protect against risks?

Our colocation environment minimizes physical risks such as unauthorized access, hardware failures, and data leaks. We ensure that your infrastructure remains available at all times—thanks to state-of-the-art technologies and well-thought-out measures:

• Monitoring: We use state-of-the-art technologies such as comprehensive video surveillance to monitor our data centers and identify potential risks at an early stage.
• Redundancy: Our infrastructure is designed for maximum availability. We use redundant power supplies, separate air conditioning systems, and multiple fire protection measures in separate fire compartments. Our fire protection measures include ten completely separate fire compartments with autonomous gas extinguishing systems.
• Availability: Our measures guarantee uptime of over 99.995%. Since 2008, we have guaranteed availability of over 99.9999%. These availability values are part of our SLA agreements, which can be individually tailored to your needs.

Digital threats such as ransomware are your responsibility, but we recommend the following measures:

• State-of-the-art firewalls and encryption techniques.
• Regular updates and backups.
• Awareness training on how to defend against cyber threats.

In short: We create the physically secure foundation on which you can build your digital security.

ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance

The GDPR requires strict protection of personal data. Our ISO 27001 certification helps you meet the defined requirements:

• Verifiability: All security-related steps are fully documented.
• Privacy-oriented design: Our infrastructure meets the highest data protection requirements.
• Practical support: We support you in providing all relevant documentation for your audits.

This is how we simplify your compliance process while minimizing complexity.

Security and sustainability in perfect balance

Our data centers combine security with environmental responsibility:

• 100% green electricity: Certified from renewable hydroelectric power.
• Energy efficiency: We set standards with a PUE value below 1.25.
• Waste heat utilization: Since 2022, we have been heating our campus with surplus heat, saving 70% on gas.
• Sustainable projects: Together with our customers, we are continuously improving our carbon footprint and planting trees.

The result: secure IT operations that make a positive contribution to sustainable digitalization.
