Conforming to these guidelines ensures that NDB has put in place a system to manage risks related to the security of data owned or handled by the bank and that this system adheres to all the best practices and principles enshrined in this International Standard, the bank said in a media release.

The certificate was presented by Bureau Veritas Country General Manager to NDB CEO Dimantha Seneviratne, COO Deepal Akuretiyagama, and CIO Indika Gunawardena in the CEO's office of NDB Bank, Nawam Mawatha, Colombo 2, recently.

Commenting on the occasion, NDB CEO, Dimantha Seneviratne, stated that, "We are extremely proud to have obtained the ISO27001:2013 certification, which highlights our commitment to ensuring that customer data is protected at all times." He further added that "this certification reaffirms our dedication to providing secure banking services to our customers and maintaining the trust they have placed in us"
