The DCOS® audit assesses data center governance, maintenance, and operations across its 11 disciplines. Data centers have the flexibility to undergo a comprehensive audit covering all 11 disciplines or selectively focus on a subset they deem most critical. Commonly, data centers initiate the audit with a focus on four key disciplines: Service Level Management, Facilities Management, Data Center Operations, and Monitoring/Reporting/Control. 

Additionally, popular disciplines include Security Management, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Safety Management, and Environmental Sustainability. DCOS® certification is adaptable to any data center type and size, without requiring adherence to specific standards in facility certification or design—it stands independently as a versatile certification.
