Interoute has completed the ISAE 3402 and SSAE 16 Type II assurance report for its Amsterdam, Berlin, Geneva and London data center operations. The report was completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) through a six-month sampling audit across seven security and risk control areas.

The telco said the report “demonstrates Interoute's commitment to protecting the security and quality of business critical applications and data for enterprises”.

The assurance report covers Interoute managed hosting and Interoute VDC solutions. The following controls have been tested and certified:
 

     · Security and risk governance
 

     · Physical and environmental security
 

     · Logical security
 

     · Incident and availability management change and configuration management
 

     · Continuity management

Joe Stevens, chief security and risk officer for Interoute, said it is “a significant certification” for the company’s data center operations. “It provides independent assurance that our security and quality controls apply industry best practice standards to ensure the protection of our customers’ business critical applications and data,” he said.

In April, Interoute expanded its Ghent data center to accommodate 8,000 servers for hosting and colocation.
