(Bandar Seri Begawan, 15th)—Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) has recently been awarded the ISO 27001:2022 Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification, underscoring its commitment to safeguarding data security and upholding world-class security standards.
BIBD’s ISO certification journey began in 2019, guided by its strategic vision to strengthen information security across all operational areas. This commitment led to the bank obtaining ISO 27001:2013 certification in August 2022, marking a significant milestone in the development of its information security governance framework.
Building on this, the bank underwent a rigorous review by Bureau Veritas (B) Sdn Bhd in August 2025 and was recertified. This review not only reaffirmed the bank’s adherence to ISO 27001 standards but also ensured a seamless transition from the 2013 version of the standard to the 2022 version, aligning the bank with the latest global best practices in risk management and data protection.
The certification covers cybersecurity services provided for the bank’s operations, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to the implementation and continual improvement of globally recognized security controls. The transition from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 is especially significant, as the updated standard introduces new requirements to address emerging risks and enhance resilience against sophisticated cyber threats.
By adopting these enhanced controls, the bank ensures stronger resilience, more robust risk management, and provides greater assurance to stakeholders and customers in an era of increasing regulatory and cybersecurity challenges.
This recertification further demonstrates BIBD’s reaffirmed commitment to prioritizing cybersecurity as a key strategic focus, ensuring its ongoing development and adaptation to the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
