JAKARTA - PT Mekar Investama Teknologi (MEKAR) has renewed its ISO/IEC 27001 certification to the latest version 2022, an international standard for Information Security Management System (ISMS). This certification renewal confirms MEKAR's commitment to strengthening data protection, system security, and corporate information governance in the midst of increasing data security needs in the digital era.
ISO 27001:2022 is an update of the previous 2013 standard which was designed to adapt to technological developments as well as the increasingly complex data protection needs. Unlike the previous version of ISO 27001, this latest version presents a number of updates that make information security management simpler and relevant to the needs of today's organizations. This latest standard also strengthens the focus on cybersecurity and data protection, so that organizations can manage information security risks more effectively.
As a financial technology company that focuses on empowering the productive sector, including MSMEs and the agricultural community, MEKAR continues to strengthen its information security system to ensure the protection of user data and the sustainability of a safe and reliable financing ecosystem. The ISO 27001:2022 standard covers various aspects of information security, ranging from data security risk assessment and mitigation, digital asset management, access control, data encryption, to response mechanisms to potential security incidents.
MEKAR CEO, Pandu Aditya Kristy, said that this certification update is part of the company's commitment to continue improving information security standards.
"This ISO 27001:2022 certification for MEKAR is a form of commitment to always maintain data and information security at the maximum level. Moreover, with the current prevalence of cyber attacks, this standard update is an important part of ensuring data protection and maintaining the trust of users and partners," said Pandu, in a statement, Tuesday, March 31.
He added that in the current digital era, information security is no longer merely a technical need, but rather the main foundation in building trust.
"Cyber threats continue to evolve, and data leaks can have a major impact on customer reputation and trust. By implementing the ISO 27001:2022 standard, we ensure that MEKAR has a strong, secure, and more structured information security management system," he explained.
Furthermore, Pandu emphasized that the implementation of ISO 27001:2022 is not only related to compliance with international standards, but also becomes part of the company's commitment to implementing the principles of good corporate governance (Good Corporate Governance).
With the implementation of this standard, MEKAR strengthens protection against sensitive data, minimizes the potential risk of information leakage, and provides higher security guarantees for users, partners, and all stakeholders.
As the technology ecosystem, especially in the digital financial sector that serves MSMEs and other productive sectors, continues to develop, MEKAR continues to ensure that information security is the main foundation in every service development. This ISO 27001:2022 certification update is an important step for MEKAR to continue to improve information security standards and strengthen data protection systems in accordance with best practices and evolving information security standards.
