Data center sustainability, cybersecurity for critical infrastructures and the financial industry

TÜV SÜD supplies a comprehensive portfolio of services supporting designers, builders, and operators of data centers. “Our services focus on data center certificates in accordance with the EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 22237 standards. These standards set out an integrated approach to security and availability requirements for data centers,” says Christian Weber, data center expert at TÜV SÜD. These certification services are complemented by sustainability and conformity assessment services for data centers in accordance with the European Data Centre Maturity Model (DCMM) and the EU’s Taxonomy Regulation respectively. Services for data center tenants include the assessment of infrastructure, physical security and safety, compliance with sustainability goals, and BCM/DR capabilities of the leased data centers.

Regulatory standards for corporate cybersecurity are constantly being tightened. TÜV SÜD supports companies and organizations in implementing and demonstrating compliance with these requirements. The European NIS2 Directive requires companies in critical sectors to take appropriate security measures to minimize risks within their systems, while businesses in the financial sector are obligated under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to implement comprehensive cybersecurity measures, including an annual reporting requirement to BaFin, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority. “Driven by NIS2 and DORA, companies are now taking a much more proactive approach to cybersecurity,” reports Richard Skalt, Advocacy Manager Cybersecurity at TÜV SÜD. “We help companies navigate the often highly complex requirements and provide proof of compliance with regulatory mandates.”
