Compliance

Reports, certificates and who is responsible for what

Independent auditors examine our controls every year. Their reports are confidential to us and our customers, so we do not publish them here, but we will send them to you under a non-disclosure agreement, usually within a day.

Who is responsible for what

Building, power, cooling, fire protectionCordgrass—
Physical access to the building, halls and your spaceCordgrassKeeping your access list current
Video recording and retentionCordgrassAsking for masking inside your space, if you want it
Remote hands recordsCordgrassAuthorizing requests
Your equipment, its configuration and its data—You
Logical access to your systems—You
Encryption, backups, disaster recovery—You, using one site or both

Colocation customers are responsible for everything inside their cabinets. We never have logical access to customer systems, and our remote hands will not sign in to them; see remote hands.

Asking for evidence

Ask your account manager, or write to sales@cordgrassdata.com if you are not yet a customer. For an audit of your own, we can provide access logs, visitor records and remote hands tickets for your space, and host your auditor on site by appointment. Video is kept for 90 days and released only to the customer whose space it shows, or as the law requires.
