Bahrain Bourse, a self-regulated multi-asset marketplace, announced that it has attained the ISO 27001:2013 certification, an internationally recognized worldwide information security management standard, after successfully completing all the requirements and being officially certified by SIS Certifications Pvt. Ltd. The certification marks a significant milestone to formally acknowledge Bahrain Bourse’s commitment to enhance its overall information security and risk management framework.

The achievement demonstrates Bahrain Bourse’s investment in people, processes, and technology to protect the information it holds.

The certification process requires an accredited certification agency to conduct an audit to assess how organisations implement, monitor, maintain, and continually improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS) within the context of the organization and business operations including the Information Technology infrastructure.

Achieving the ISO 27001:2013 certification illustrates Bahrain Bourse's continuous commitment to enhance its technology and implemented security controls to support its digital journey of enriching investors and stakeholders’ experience. We recognize that the security landscape is constantly fluctuating, particularly within the capital markets.
