Data Center Standards

Information Technology Security Compliance

Securing data centers is paramount for upholding consumer privacy and maintaining trust in today’s digital landscape. To achieve robust security measures, organizations must adhere to established standards that outline best practices. Such standards include:

  • ANSI/TIA-942 : Provides minimum design and installation guidelines.
  • ISO 27001: Offers guidance on implementing security controls and identifying risks and vulnerabilities.
  • It is also important to consider industry-specific standards like HIPAA and PCI DSS.

Although each organization may have its own unique policies and requirements, following these standards is essential to maintain information technology security.

What to Know

Data Center Security FAQs

Quick answers to the questions data center teams ask most about stopping tailgating at the lobby and the data hall:

Most use optical turnstiles at the lobby and anti-tailgating protection at the doors into data halls. Fastlane® turnstiles from Smarter Security detect a second person as close as ¼” apart.

A mantrap holds a person between two barriers until the system confirms they are alone. It suits data hall entrances that require verified single-person passage. The Fastlane Interlock is a dual-barrier lane that does this.

Door Detective® mounts on the existing access-controlled door. It detects tailgating and direction violations, and on alarm can signal your access control system to lock the door and alert your cameras. Door Detective Plus runs on PoE power, so retrofitting an existing door doesn’t turn into a construction project.

Yes. Fastlane turnstiles connect to third-party access control through Wiegand, OSDP, or dry contacts, and to video systems. Fastlane Connect™ lets your team monitor lanes across multiple sites from a web browser.
