A Leading Middle Eastern Bank’s Path to ISO 27001:2022 Compliance

A prominent Middle Eastern bank, fresh from a major merger, found itself juggling multiple industry standards; ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS v4.0, and SWIFT CSP 2023, all under one roof. Initially seeking just a high-level assessment, the bank soon discovered it needed full-scale ISO 27001 certification to address its post-merger integration hurdles. Equally pressing were data security threats, where robust frameworks were essential to protect critical financial information and meet stringent regulatory mandates from entities like the Central Bank and PCI DSS. The complexity of harmonizing workflows across the newly merged teams, coupled with the challenge of managing security risks across multiple business lines, underscored the magnitude of this undertaking.

Curious to see how the bank successfully unified these diverse requirements and fortified its cybersecurity posture? Our case study dives into the strategies and best practices that guided this transformation – from tackling the cultural challenges of a new merger to securing customer trust through rigorous compliance.
