Note
BMC supports the data residency requirements of its customers through the initial selection of a service location. Once selected, data remains within the primary and secondary locations for that service. Customers who purchase services that utilize the IBM Watson features may have select data transferred to/from the corresponding IBM service location.
BMC is committed to offering its services from facilities that meet or exceed the rigorous standards and compliance requirements of our customers. The following table summarizes the key compliance and certification types available from each location.
BMC has partnered with IBM for a seamless integration to its BMC Helix Chatbot and Cognitive Automation services. IBM Watson Assistant and Discovery capabilities are provided from the location listed.

FedRAMP - Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program is a US federal agency-specific process for assessing and authorizing federal cloud computing products and services. FedRAMP consists of a subset of National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-53 security controls specifically selected to provide protection in cloud environments. BMC's FedRAMP certification is defined for the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 199 Moderate impact level.
ISAE 3402 - International Standard on Assurance Engagements No. 3402 was developed to provide an international assurance standard for allowing public accountants to issue a report for use by user organizations and their auditors on the controls at a service organization that are likely to impact or be a part of the user organization’s system of internal control over financial reporting.

SSAE 18 - Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18, also referred to as a Service Organization Controls (SOC) 1 report, is an auditing standard for service organizations and serves as the authoritative guidance for reporting. It was drafted with the intention and purpose of updating the US service organization reporting standard so that it mirrors and complies with the international service organization reporting standard ISAE 3402. See also Third party audit for BMC's SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II accreditation for the services.
Tier III Certification of Design Documents - As certified by Uptime Institute, tier certification is a performance-based evaluation of a data center's specific infrastructure. The first step in the certification process is the Tier Certification of Design Documents (TCDD) designation. To obtain the TCDD compliance level, Uptime Institute reviews all design documents, ensuring each subsystem among electrical, mechanical, monitoring and automation meet the fundamental concepts.
