Fire incidents, physical security breaches and system failures can have far-reaching consequences — from service disruption and financial loss to threats to public safety and trust. Protecting data centers is therefore no longer just an operational concern; it is a strategic priority for Europe.
Euralarm brings together Europe’s fire safety and security expertise to support resilient, safe and future-ready data centers.
Why data center safety requires a European approach
Modern data centers operate under unique conditions. High power densities, complex electrical systems, battery energy storage, advanced cooling technologies and 24/7 operation create new fire and security challenges that traditional approaches do not fully address.
At the same time, data centers often operate across borders, while safety and security regulations remain fragmented across Europe. This creates inconsistencies, uncertainty and inefficiencies in protection levels.
A harmonised, future-oriented approach is needed — one that aligns technology, standards, best practices and policy.
Euralarm works to support this alignment by providing a platform where industry, regulators, policymakers and stakeholders can exchange knowledge and shape the future of data center protection together.
Holistic approach
Euralarm addresses data center safety and security through a holistic approach, including:
- Fire detection and suppression solutions adapted to mission-critical environments
- Physical security and access control for high-value infrastructure
- Integration of fire safety, security and building management systems
- Risk management for energy storage and sustainable technologies
- Alignment of standards, regulations and best practices across Europe
This work supports both operational resilience and Europe’s wider goals for digitalisation, sustainability and security.
Knowledge, Guidance and Expertise
Euralarm provides access to expert knowledge through dedicated webinars, technical documents and position papers focused on data centers.
These resources are designed for data center operators and owners, designers, consultants and engineers, fire safety and security professionals, policymakers and authorities as well as insurers and risk managers. They offer practical insight into current risks, emerging technologies, regulatory developments and best practices for protecting data center infrastructure.
