Case Studies / Certification
YUCAN is a certification company for which Servermeister has managed all servers and DNS for seven years. Because certification revolves around verifiability, we have documented access, changes, and agreements regarding the environment.

YUCAN is a certification company based in Amsterdam. The company works with its own online applications, which run on multiple servers and are maintained by external developers.
For a certification body, reliability is doubly important. Customers rely on the outcome of a certification, so the underlying technology must also be auditable: who has access, what was changed, and who approved it.
A certification company must be able to demonstrate that its own environment is in order. For YUCAN, this came down to three key points.
We document access and changes, so you can demonstrate compliance.
A single partner for servers and DNS, with access and changes documented on paper.
We manage every YUCAN server, from updates and monitoring to web server settings. If a server is added or removed, we incorporate that into the management process.
We manage the DNS of the domains, ensuring that changes to a server and the corresponding records are implemented together.
Each developer receives their own access, restricted to fixed IP addresses. Requests come from a single designated contact person and are handled via email so they are traceable.
When a developer left, their access to the servers and the management panel was revoked the same day.
Adjustments, such as a higher timeout for all applications on a server, are only implemented after confirmation of the scope.
Result
YUCAN has one partner for all servers and DNS, and a trail of who had access when and what was changed. This is what a certification body should expect from its own suppliers.
