    Build Operational Excellence, Inspire Client Confidence, Future-Proof

    BSI's Data Centre Mark of Trust is an independent, modular, globally recognized framework to validate technical, operational and compliance excellence.

    Data centres face unprecedented operational, regulatory and reputation pressure. With BSI you don't just build a data centre - you build operational excellence and trust

    BSI's Data Centre Mark of Trust scheme is an independent, modular, globally recognized framework that validates your technical, operational and compliance excellence.

    The number of data centre sites around the world will increase substantially over the next decade to meet the demand in AI. You need to prove to clients, regulators and stakeholders that your facility meets the highest global standards, addressing competing challenges such as:

    • Compliance with global, regional and sector specific data privacy laws and cyber security frameworks, such as ISO 27001
    • Sustainability and environmental regulations and ESG mandates and targets
    • Health safety and wellbeing needs of data centre colleagues
