Verification

Complete your security verification

Overview

The verification process is a mandatory security requirement that all personnel must complete before gaining access to GridColo facilities. This process ensures that only authorized, verified individuals can access sensitive data center locations. Verification involves submitting government-issued photo identification documents and completing a background check form. Your verification status is tracked per GridColo site, meaning you must be verified for each location where you need access.
