Bayport achieves global ISO 27001:2022 certification for information security

Bayport Savings and Loans PLC has achieved the internationally recognised ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, reinforcing its commitment to protecting customer data and strengthening cybersecurity across its operations.

The certification confirms that Bayport’s Information Security Management System meets global best-practice standards for safeguarding sensitive information, managing cyber risk, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical data. The certification was awarded following an independent audit conducted by CertiTrust, an accredited certification body.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management systems and is widely adopted by financial institutions and global organisations to strengthen data protection and resilience against cyber threats. The updated 2022 version reflects evolving digital risks and modern cybersecurity practices.

Chief Executive Officer of Bayport Ghana, Akwasi Aboagye, said the certification demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security and customer trust.

“This achievement reflects Bayport Ghana’s strong commitment to responsible data management and information security. By aligning our systems and processes with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard, we are strengthening our ability to protect sensitive information and maintain the confidence of our customers, partners and regulators,” he said.

The certification also reinforces Bayport’s alignment with the Bank of Ghana’s Cyber and Information Security Directive, which requires regulated financial institutions to implement robust frameworks to safeguard digital operations and customer information.

The certification forms part of Bayport Ghana’s broader strategy to strengthen its digital infrastructure and deliver secure, reliable and technology-driven financial services to customers across Ghana.
