NDIC Gets ISO Certification For Service Delivery

International provider of audit and certification services, MSECB has granted the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) three ISO certifications for good service delivery, according to a statement that was issued by the NDIC yesterday.

The certificates are Information Security Management System ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (on how organisations manage and protect their information assets so that they remain safe and secure, using this robust framework); IT Service Management System ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 (on how to ensure effective and resilient services in today’s changing service delivery environment); and Business Continuity Management System, ISO 22301(on the requirements for a management system to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure businesses recover from disruptive incidents).

The certifications followed a rigorous and independent audit exercise confirming that the NDIC complies with the requirements for the three standards.

The ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop, voluntary, consensus-based, market-relevant international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

The certification is a three-year, multi-layered process that begins with an initial certification in the first year, followed by two surveillance audits over the course of two years.

“In line with its vision to be one of the best deposit insurers in the world, the corporation will continue to offer excellent services consistent with international standards and best practices to ensure that the current achievement is duly sustained, director of communications and public affairs at the NDIC, Bashir Nuhu said.
