Data Centre Security
Layered physical access control, escort discipline and audit-grade records for facilities that get audited.
Overview
What this covers
Data centre security is an audit problem as much as a physical one. The controls have to work, and then they have to be evidenced — because a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 auditor will ask for the visitor logs, the escort records and the access review, and a gap in the paperwork is a finding regardless of whether anything was ever at risk.
Praxon staffs data centres with officers trained on layered access, mantrap and cage-level verification, and escort discipline that does not bend for a vendor in a hurry. Records are kept to a standard that produces evidence on request rather than a reconstruction afterwards. Demand for this coverage in the GTA is growing quickly, and we have built for it.
