Dr Abdulbasit Ahmad al-Shaibei, QIIB CEO.

Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) has obtained ISO 27001:2022 certification in cybersecurity, making it one of the first institutions in Qatar to get a certification based on the new standards.Obtaining the ISO certification confirms that the bank has adopted a comprehensive approach that is more focused on cybersecurity-related risks, ensuring a more dynamic security framework and adaptability to emerging threats.In addition to the risk-based approach, the 2022 version of ISO 27001 expands to cover the broader digital landscape, including digital transformation challenges and opportunities.This affirms that QIIB is not only securing its banking transactions but also ensuring that digital assets and customer data are protected in an increasingly interconnected world.The ISO 27001:2022 version introduces new controls to enhance data privacy and protection and, in turn, supports the implementation of Qatar Law No (13) of 2016 for Personal Data Privacy Protection. This promotes QIIB's regulatory compliance standards about customer data protection, privacy protection, and cybersecurity.ISO 27001 is one of the world’s highly regarded certifications, awarded to institutions and companies who meet the highest requirements and standards in information security and customer data protection, and exert their best efforts to enhance their digital security.QIIB CEO
