The lender confirmed it has secured ISO\/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management and ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity management systems. The certifications were awarded by MSECB, an accredited global certification body operating under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).<\/p>\n

By attaining both standards, BRD becomes one of the few financial institutions in the region to meet such stringent global requirements, positioning itself as a leader in operational resilience and data protection.<\/p>\n

For clients, the certifications translate into enhanced information security, continuity of services even in the face of disruptions, and increased confidence in the bank\u2019s reliability.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur clients entrust us with what matters most\u2014their financial information and access to essential services. These certifications confirm that BRD meets international standards for information security and service reliability,\u201d said Kampeta Sayinzoga, the bank\u2019s chief executive officer, in a recent statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cClients can be assured that we are not only safeguarding their information but also strengthening the resilience of our systems so they can count on us anytime, anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Securing the certifications followed months of preparation that included capacity building and a risk assessment of the bank\u2019s systems, policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with international standards.<\/p>\n

BRD described the achievement as a milestone in its ongoing digital transformation. With financial institutions across Africa increasingly adopting digital platforms and financial technologies, the bank says the recognition sets a benchmark for cybersecurity and service continuity in the region.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1967, BRD has been central to Rwanda\u2019s development financing, supporting projects in manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, affordable housing and green finance. It continues to play a key role in driving the country\u2019s long-term socio-economic transformation.<\/p>\n
