Cyber Attacks on the Rise, MEKAR Takes These Steps to Enhance Partner Security
PT Mekar Investama Teknologi (MEKAR) is strengthening data protection, system security, and corporate information governance amid the growing need for data security in the digital era. This is being achieved, among other things, by updating the ISO/IEC 27001 certification to the latest 2022 version, an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
MEKAR’s Chief Executive Officer, Pandu Aditya Kristy, stated that as a financial technology company focused on empowering the productive sector, including SMEs and agricultural communities, MEKAR continues to bolster its information security systems to ensure user data protection and the sustainability of a safe and trustworthy financing ecosystem. The ISO 27001:2022 standard covers various aspects of information security, from assessing and mitigating data security risks, managing digital assets, access controls, data encryption, to response mechanisms for potential security incidents.
“This ISO 27001:2022 certification represents MEKAR’s commitment to always maintaining data and information security at the maximum level. Especially with the current prevalence of cyber attacks, this standard update is an important part in ensuring data protection and preserving the trust of users and partners,” said Pandu, quoted from his statement on Tuesday, 31 March 2026.
He added that in the current digital era, information security is no longer just a technical requirement but the primary foundation for building trust. “Cyber threats continue to evolve, and data breaches can have a significant impact on reputation and customer trust. By implementing the ISO 27001:2022 standard, we ensure that MEKAR has a strong, secure, and more structured information security management system,” he explained.
Furthermore, Pandu emphasised that the implementation of ISO 27001:2022 is not only related to compliance with international standards but also part of the company’s commitment to applying good corporate governance principles.
With the application of this standard, MEKAR is strengthening protection against sensitive data, minimising the potential risk of information leaks, and providing higher security guarantees for users, partners, and all stakeholders.
As the technology ecosystem develops, particularly in the digital finance sector serving SMEs and other productive sectors, MEKAR continues to ensure that information security remains the primary foundation in every service development. This certification update to ISO 27001:2022 is an important step for MEKAR to continuously improve information security standards and strengthen data protection systems in line with best practices and evolving information security standards.
