Certifications
Our certifications ensure and demonstrate the quality and continuity of our services.
ISO 9001 – Quality Management System

This system ensures the quality of our services, promotes continuous improvement and enhances customer satisfaction. Every year, an independent party audits to ensure we meet these strict standards, guaranteeing consistent and reliable quality.

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
With ISO 14001, we demonstrate that our environmental policy complies with international standards and regulations. This certification ensures we manage ecological risks and continuously improve. At NorthC, we map out our environmental impact and set clear goals, including waste separation, energy saving, and water management. A key element is reusing residual heat: internally, we use this to preheat our backup power generators, and externally, we exchange energy with the surrounding area. In return, we receive cold water to cool our data halls.

ISO 27001 – Information Security
ISO 27001 protects all information within an organisation, from personal and business information to financial and client data.

Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) documents all processes and measures, ensuring optimal security, even during break-ins or cyber-attacks.

ISO 22301 – Business Continuity

PCI DSS – Credit Card Transactions
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, the international security standard for safe credit and debit card transactions. This standard, developed by payment card companies like Visa Inc., Mastercard, JCB, American Express, and Discover Financial Services, helps protect payment card data from misuse and fraud. Companies that store, process, or transmit credit card or international debit card data must comply with the PCI DSS standard annually, which is especially important for customers in the financial sector and large online shops. At NorthC, we ensure compliance through layered physical security and a strict access policy, including biometric scanners, 24/7 security, and CCTV monitoring inside and outside.
