The certification renewal refers to the international standard for Information Security Management System (ISMS). In an official statement, MEKAR stated that this latest standard introduces updates that make information security management simpler while remaining relevant to current organisational needs. ISO 27001:2022 also strengthens the focus on cyber security and data protection, enabling organisations to manage information security risks more effectively.

He added that in the context of digital economic development, information security is no longer just a technical need but the main foundation in building trust. Furthermore, Pandu stated that the implementation of the ISO 27001:2022 standard is not only related to compliance with international standards but also part of implementing good corporate governance (GCG) principles. Through the application of this standard, the company strengthens protection against sensitive data and minimises the potential risk of information leaks. In addition, this step is also aimed at providing higher security guarantees for users, partners, and all stakeholders. Amid the development of the technology ecosystem, particularly in the digital financial sector serving MSMEs and other productive sectors, MEKAR positions information security as the main foundation in every service development.
