In addition, DataBank also achieved CSA Star Level 2 certification, along with an error-free SSAE18 SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and PCI-DSS compliance.

“DataBank understands that the importance of ensuring compliance not only for our own core infrastructure and services, but also to make sure our customers have the tools, resources, and solutions they need in order to keep their data private and secure,” comments Calli Schlientz, DataBank’s Compliance Team Lead.
DataBank is recertified each year for its major compliance frameworks including, SSAE18, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and Privacy Shield – GDPR. In addition, the company attained an error-free SSAE18 SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and PCI-DSS Report on Compliance (ROC) for both Managed Services and Colocation Services, as well as a PCI Report on Compliance (ROC) for its Managed Services platforms in its Baltimore data center, BWI1, Dallas data center, DFW1, and Kansas City cloud nodes. Achieving an error-free ROC is rare, and this marked the third year in a row that DataBank has received such an accolade for PCI.
