DataBank is a vast network of data centers that serves many of the world’s largest enterprises, technology, and content providers to ensure their data and applications are always on, always secure, always compliant, and ready to scale to meet the needs of the artificial intelligence era.

Opportunity

When DataBank first engaged 360 Advanced in 2014, it operated just six U.S. data centers. Fast forward a decade, and the company has expanded to 64 facilities across North America and Europe. Fueled by acquisitions and organic expansion, this rapid growth came with the challenge of maintaining a consistent, audit-ready compliance posture across all locations, frameworks, and stakeholders.

Solution

360 Advanced developed a flexible, integrated compliance strategy that scaled alongside DataBank’s growth. This included tailored multi-framework roadmaps, annual audit calendars, and collaborative engagements that allowed for continuous compliance across all data centers. As frameworks were added (FedRAMP, ISO 27001, GLBA, FISMA) 360 Advanced adjusted controls and timelines without disruption.

“We have worked with 360 Advanced for over ten years because of the robust nature of what they offer and the variety of evaluations they can handle for us. They’ve been able to easily grow with us from six sites to 19 sites to now 64 sites and counting. They have been able to adapt to our growth in a way that many other firms cannot.”
