One of Nigeria’s oldest banks, Union Bank, has attained certifications in MSECB management system in ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 22301:2019, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018.
MSECB is a leading international provider of audit and certification services for management systems based on a wide range of global standards.
A recent statement from the bank disclosed that it received the certifications following assessments of its management system covering information security, its service delivery, and business continuity standards under the combined Information Management Systems standards.
The information security management systems ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 22301:2019, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 are internationally recognised standards that outline the requirements for establishing an effective information management system that guides against data breaches, IT system compromises, and disruptions to business processes.
Commenting on the bank’s recent attainment, Chief Information Security Officer at Union Bank, Francis Mojoyinlola, said, “The bank’s continued adherence to best international practices, as acknowledged by an independent third-party audit from a reputable international certification firm, reaffirms our capacity to erect, implement, and maintain best information and security management practices.
“We remain committed to offering our esteemed customers simpler, more innovative services rooted in the highest standards of information security and cutting-edge innovative banking service.”
The recent achievement by Union Bank follows the bank’s recertification of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard version 3.2 and the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification attained in 2018.
According to the lender, it further highlights its commitment to the strictest information management security standards while securing its pride of place as one of Nigeria’s most trusted financial institutions.
