This milestone builds on CDB’s long-standing commitment to information security, following its successful recertification with ISO 27001:2022 for Information Security Management in September 2024—an upgrade from its previous ISO 27001:2013 certification, which it had previously sustained for over six years.
With these certifications, CDB sets a new benchmark in the financial sector under well-established protocols in security and operational standards, assuring customers that operations will continue without disruption.
Speaking about the certifications, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Shavindra Fernando said,
“At CDB, security and resilience are fundamental to our operations. Achieving ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 highlights our commitment to safeguarding customer data, ensuring business continuity, and addressing emerging risks, solidifying our position as a trusted financial partner”

As evidenced by these certifications, CDB continues to lead in technological resilience and operational excellence.
The Company’s continued focus on raising the bar in customer satisfaction and technological innovation clearly highlights its commitment to pushing boundaries in meeting stakeholder aspirations and leading tech disruption.
