UAE Exchange, a leading global remittance and foreign exchange brand, has become the first remittance brand in the country to achieve the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification for information security management system (ISMS).

The certification ensures that only authorized users have access to information and enables prompt detection of security breaches.  The ISO 27001:2013, being the latest version of the International Standard for Information Security Management, provides a framework and a systematic approach to implement effective controls that help in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer data. UAE Exchange had earlier got its ISMS certified against ISO 27001:2005 standard in 2012.

Promoth Manghat, CEO, UAE Exchange said: “Operating in a global environment makes it imperative for us to manage and secure company and customer information from various security threats. We are delighted to be the first remittance brand to achieve the ISO 27001:2013 certification.”

“This certificate is a testament of our continued focus on meeting the global standards for information security and provides our customers, partners and regulators the confidence that we manage our systems, operations and data in a secure manner,” he added.

The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 helps the business to achieve compliance with relevant laws and regulations. ISMS also ensures that a common set of policies, procedures and controls are in place to manage risks to information security and gives organizations a straightforward way for responding to tender requirements around information governance. – TradeArabia News Service
