Mitigate risks while maintaining control with our shared responsibility model

DLR’s facilities meet or exceed the NIST 800-53r5 Physical and Environmental Protection (PE) control family relevant to our services. This means that Digital Realty facilities meet the applicable FedRAMP Moderate/High Physical and Environmental Controls requirements. And because Data Centers don’t get FedRAMP or FISMA certified, these controls typically follow a hybrid model where Digital Realty and the customer share responsibility, i.e., Digital Realty maintains the Physical and Environmental Protection of the facility, while the customer retains responsibility for ensuring the integrity and security of its own data and assets within its suite. This shared responsibility model helps to ensure that security risks are mitigated effectively while allowing customers to maintain control over their assets. The nature of the commercial data center environment -- including the lack of features identifying a location as a U.S. Government facility, little-to-no public contact, and low federal employee facility population -- gives us confidence that we are well positioned to meet the required countermeasure standards.
