The Bank of Industry (BOI) has been awarded the ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification for Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS).

This certification,  issued by the British Standards Institution (BSI), a globally recognized authority in auditing and certification, extends the Bank’s existing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification which was first obtained in 2019.

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is the leading international privacy standard and aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and other global privacy requirements.

BOI is the first Development Finance Institution (DFI) and second bank in Nigeria to achieve the ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification.

“This milestone reflects the Bank’s commitment to global best practices in privacy and security,” Theodora Amechi Divisional Head, Public Relations, said in a statement.
