NBB attains Information Security Certification ISO 27001

As part of its efforts to enhance its digital infrastructure and upgrade customer security, NBB announced that it has attained the information security ISO 27001:2013 certification after successfully completing all the requirements and being officially certified by Bureau Veritas.



The attainment of the certification marks a significant milestone in NBB's journey to enhance its overall information security and risk management framework, and demonstrates that the Bank has identified the risks, assessed the implications and put in place the necessary systems and controls to protect the information it holds to limit any damage to the organisation and its customers.



The ISO 27001 certification is a globally recognised international standard for managing risks to the security of information held by organisations covering people, processes and technology. In order to achieve the certification, organisations must undergo an overall improvement of their existing information security frameworks.
