Case Study: Iron Mountain achieves faster data center compliance with Schellman & Company, LLC

Iron Mountain Uses a Single Assessor for Agile Expansion

Iron Mountain, a company known for storage and information management, faced the challenge of expanding its services into secure data center colocation to meet the demands of its highly regulated customers. They needed to quickly obtain multiple, complex compliance certifications to validate their new business line and chose Schellman as their vendor for its comprehensive auditing services.

Schellman implemented its single assessor advantage, performing FISMA, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS audits for Iron Mountain. This approach leveraged common controls across all assessments, which dramatically reduced the time-to-compliance. Schellman completed the initial FISMA assessment in weeks instead of months and finished the entire ISO 27001 certification process in just five months, allowing Iron Mountain to confidently serve its enterprise and public-sector customers.
