Dataport Achieves Fourth Consecutive BSI-Grundschutz Certification for Data Center Security
January 15, 2026 – Dataport, a leading IT service provider, has once again demonstrated its commitment to robust data security by successfully completing a rigorous recertification audit and achieving BSI-Grundschutz certification for its data center infrastructure. This marks the fourth consecutive successful certification for Dataport, solidifying its position as a trusted provider of secure IT services.
the certification, awarded by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), confirms the high level of security implemented within Dataport’s data center. A comprehensive four-day audit, conducted by autonomous auditors on behalf of the BSI, meticulously examined all facets of the data center’s security posture. This included a thorough assessment of physical security measures protecting against potential threats, the effectiveness of access controls, and the secure configuration of critical systems such as firewalls and network architecture.
Dataport’s internal security teams, including Information Security Management and the Security Operations Center (SOC), actively supported the audit process, demonstrating a company-wide dedication to security best practices. The successful completion of the audit ensures Dataport will maintain ISO 27001 certification, based on IT-Grundschutz, from 2026 through 2029.
“This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting the sensitive data entrusted to us,” stated a Dataport spokesperson. “The BSI-Grundschutz certification is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our security teams and our ongoing investment in state-of-the-art security infrastructure.”
The BSI-Grundschutz framework is a widely recognized and respected standard for information security in Germany. Recertification is required every three years, with annual surveillance audits conducted to ensure continuous compliance. Dataport initially achieved certification in 2016 and has consistently maintained its high security standards through diligent preparation and ongoing enhancement.
This latest certification provides assurance to Dataport’s clients, including public sector organizations, that their data is protected by a robust and independently verified security framework. It reinforces Dataport’s reputation as a reliable and secure partner for critical IT services.
