PCI DSS, and HIPAA. CoreSite’s numerous data center controls
support its diverse communities of interest in meeting a wide

Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and the Federal
Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

Compliance Requirements
“We are pleased to have successfully completed a NIST 800-53
assessment. The strength of our campus environment across our eight
markets includes the proximity to a vibrant community of enterprise
customers, Systems Integrators, and Federal Agencies that rely on
stringent compliance standards to operate at our campuses,
including at our Reston, VA campus with its access to Washington
D.C. and the surrounding community,” said Juan Font, CoreSite’s SVP
of General Management.
“Being able to support FISMA and FedRAMP compliant customers

About NIST 800-53
NIST 800-53 is a publication that recommends security controls
for federal information systems and organizations. It is published
by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which
creates and promotes the standards used by federal agencies to
implement FISMA and manage other programs designed to protect
information and promote information security. The scope of the NIST
800-53 attestation assessed the suitability of design of controls
relevant to the high baseline requirements for a subset of control
families specified in NIST 800-53 and aligned to the control
parameters and selections for each control that have been
specifically required by CoreSite’s customers undergoing FedRAMP
assessments as it relates to the colocation services.
The NIST 800-53 attestation was conducted by Schellman &
Company, LLC, an independent CPA firm and accredited Third Party
Assessment Organization (3PAO).

to acquire and completing acquisitions; significant industry
competition, including indirect competition from cloud service
providers; failure to obtain necessary outside financing; the
