Data center operations readiness and lifecycle advisory

Operational readiness asks whether the organization can operate, maintain, monitor, respond, and change the facility safely within its intended risk posture. It covers more than completion of construction: people, procedures, evidence, tools, spares, access, training, and governance must work together.
