The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has successfully obtained three certifications from the British Standards Institution (BSI) on Information Security Management System ISO/IEC 27001:2013; IT Service Management System ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011; and Business Continuity Management System, ISO 22301:2012.
This came after a rigorous process of satisfying the conditions precedent to accreditation, while the British Standards Institute UK thoroughly engaged and audited the corporation’s operational processes between April and July 2017 to determine the conformity to the standards.
