Global Data Systems Achieves MSPAlliance Cyber Verify Level 3 Certification

One of the Highest Levels of Cybersecurity Assurance for Managed Service Providers

LAFAYETTE, LA, UNITED STATES, July 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global Data Systems (GDS), a full-service Managed IT provider headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, is proud to announce it has successfully completed the MSPAlliance Cyber Verify Level 3 certification. This achievement reflects GDS’s ongoing commitment to meeting the highest standards in cybersecurity, operational resilience, and managed services best practices.

The Cyber Verify Level 3 certification is the most rigorous tier offered under the MSPAlliance Unified Certification Standard (UCS), an internationally recognized framework developed specifically for Cloud and Managed Service Providers. To earn this designation, GDS underwent an in-depth, third-party audit conducted over a 12-month period and demonstrated verified compliance across five core UCS domains: Expertise, Trust, Security, Resilience, and Transparency.

“Earning the Cyber Verify Level 3 certification highlights our team’s dedication to excellence, accountability, and security,” said Doug Pickle, President of Global Data Systems. “It’s not just about checking a compliance box; it’s about proving to our customers that their data, operations, and IT infrastructure are protected by an organization that puts cybersecurity and transparency first.”

According to MSPAlliance, fewer than 1% of Managed Service Providers worldwide achieve a Level 3 Cyber Verify designation, placing GDS in an elite group of providers with top-tier operational maturity and security.

The certification affirms that GDS has successfully demonstrated strong internal controls, effective data protection practices, and a strategic commitment to business continuity. The audit covered a comprehensive range of services, including IT Support and Helpdesk, Infrastructure, Network Design, Security Services, Voice and Collaboration, and Managed Connectivity.
