This recent accomplishment stands as a monumental milestone in HBMSU's relentless pursuit of excellence, underscoring a legacy of unwavering commitment to information security and business continuity. Notably, the University had previously attained the BC 22301 certification in 2017 and the ISO 27001 certification in 2009, a testament to its enduring dedication. The renewal of the two certifications in 2024 not only reaffirms HBMSU's steadfast adherence to the highest standards but also showcases its dynamic evolution and resilience in these pivotal domains. The sustained endeavour to not just meet but surpass the exacting benchmarks set by these certifications epitomises the University's enduring pledge to operational integrity and safeguarding its information assets.
Accredited by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the ISO 27001 and BC 22301 certifications of an institution represents its stringent adherence to industry best practices for information security and business continuity. In addition to safeguarding its resources and reputation, these accreditations also improve an institution’s operational resilience and efficiency, which in turn builds confidence with stakeholders. Consequently, this achievement positions HBMSU as a leader in the academic community, committed to improving information security procedures for the benefit of partners, staff, and students. The University will take further measures to ensure the secure management of information and uphold operational integrity.
