Valu Strengthens Digital Security and Privacy with Continued ISO Certifications, Partnering with iExperts

With our increasing reliance on digital financial services, protecting customer data and securing electronic systems has become super important. That's why Valu has been working hard to boost its cybersecurity and privacy systems. We're excited to share that we've successfully passed our first periodic review for both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications for the second year in a row! This achievement really shows Valu's ongoing commitment to using the best global practices for information security and privacy protection. It also highlights our dedication to improving our governance and compliance systems to meet the highest international standards. All of this helps build trust with our customers and partners, and supports our business growth as digital financial services expand rapidly. ISO/IEC 27001 is one of the top international standards for managing information security. It helps organizations build a complete system to handle information security risks and put in place the necessary controls to protect sensitive data, systems, and information. On the other hand, ISO/IEC 27701 focuses on privacy information management. It helps organizations manage how they handle personal data, strengthening privacy controls and making sure they meet all relevant regulatory requirements. Passing this first periodic review is especially important. It confirms that our information security and privacy management systems and controls are continuously effective, not just that we got the certifications the first time. This really shows our ability to consistently maintain the required compliance levels. This success is a direct result of our ongoing partnership with iExperts. They've provided specialized consulting services to help us get our systems and controls ready and boost our compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 standards. iExperts' efforts included supporting our continuous improvement processes. This helps us keep our information security management system and privacy information management system efficient and effective. They also helped us prepare for periodic reviews and ensure we consistently meet international requirements and standards. These standards are becoming more and more vital for FinTech companies. The sector relies on processing huge amounts of digital data and transactions, which makes it essential to strengthen information protection systems and manage cyber risks and privacy. Sticking to these standards also helps improve governance within organizations. It means setting clear procedures for managing information and data, identifying risks, and putting in place the necessary controls to deal with them. This supports business continuity and boosts trust among customers and partners. Valu's continued maintenance of these certifications shows our commitment to making cybersecurity and privacy protection a core part of our operations, especially as digital financial services grow across Egypt and the wider region. This comes at a time when data protection and compliance with international standards are key factors in evaluating how ready FinTech companies are. This is even more true with the increasing reliance on digital solutions and the growing volume of data processed through financial platforms and applications.
