1 - We can get a certificate for an empty data center? I mean that the data center is now empty without any IT equipment. The equipment will be connected later after we certify
Please note that ISO 27001 is about the protection of information security, and if there is no information to be protected in your data center it cannot be certified against ISO 27001.
2 - And what are the data center dependencies if my ISO scope is going to be a datacenter only?

- providers of communication links and electric power
