Data Center
Security Assessments
A data center sells uptime and trust, and one unescorted visitor at a cage undoes both. We test the loading dock, the mantrap, the badge reader, the insider path, and the external network perimeter the way an adversary would, then map findings to the ISO, SSAE, and PCI DSS controls your customers audit you against. We sell no hardware.
What We Test
Unauthorized & Insider Access
Cage-level access is the whole game. We test whether physical controls and escorting hold against a determined visitor and a credentialed insider alike.
Cyber Attacks & Breaches
A facility full of other people data is a prime target. We probe the external perimeter and the management network that runs the floor.
Environmental & Physical Risk
Power, cooling, and physical tampering are security concerns, not just facilities ones. We assess where a physical failure becomes a breach.
Compliance Pressure
ISO, SSAE 18, and PCI DSS are table stakes your customers audit. We test the controls behind the attestation, not just the report.
Scale Without Gaps
Growth outpaces controls. We find where new capacity or a new tenant opened a path the last audit never covered.
Social Entry
The delivery driver and the vendor badge are the classic way in. We test whether your floor process actually stops them.
How We Approach It
A data center audit assumes the adversary is patient and may already be inside the badge system. We test physical access from the perimeter to the cage, validate whether escorting and mantrap controls hold under social pressure, and pair that with external network reconnaissance. Findings map to the compliance frameworks your tenants demand, because in this industry a control failure is a customer-facing event.
Structured walk-through assessment against the full control framework, exterior and interior, plus an external network vulnerability scan. The baseline every facility should have on file.
Full adversarial engagement: unannounced physical penetration attempts, social entry testing, and converged penetration testing of the network. You learn what a real adversary learns, before one does.
Conflict-free by design: we sell no hardware and no software, so every finding is unbiased. Compare all assessment tiers.
Common Questions
Do you test physical access to the cage, not just the network?
Yes. Physical access is the core of a data center engagement. We test the full path from perimeter to cage, including dock access, mantrap and escorting controls, and whether a credentialed insider can reach space they should not.
Do findings map to ISO, SSAE 18, and PCI DSS?
Yes. Each finding is tied to the specific control it affects across the frameworks your tenants audit you against, so remediation reads directly against the reports your customers request.
Will testing risk uptime?
No. We do not conduct destructive or availability-affecting testing. Physical and social testing is invisible to operations, and network reconnaissance is external and non-disruptive. Your contact can pause the engagement at any time.
Who is this for?
Colocation providers, enterprise data centers, and edge facilities that carry customer trust and third-party audit obligations and cannot afford a physical or compliance failure.
