Namibian digital financial services provider MobiPay says it has strengthened security and client trust after receiving the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
The company on Monday said the certification recognises its Information Security Management System and reflects its commitment to managing information security with discipline, governance and continuous improvement.
MobiPay says the achievement goes beyond a certification milestone. It says it forms part of a wider commitment to trust at a time when cybersecurity, fraud, phishing and data protection are growing concerns in Namibia.
Commenting on the development, Lead Implementer and Compliance Manager at MobiPay, Delvalene Nghimbwasha, said: “Trust in digital financial services does not happen by accident.”
She said: “It must be managed through systems, controls, accountability and continuous improvement. MobiPay’s ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification reflects our commitment to that responsibility.”
Nghimbwasha added that the certification gives stakeholders stronger confidence in how MobiPay manages information security across its digital payment platforms, mobile financial solutions and supporting infrastructure.
“This is especially important in today’s environment. Businesses, financial institutions, merchants, SMEs and public institutions need digital partners they can trust. Our certification reinforces that MobiPay is committed to secure, reliable and responsible digital financial services,” she said.
Senior Vice President, Assurance Services at EMEA at BSI, Matt Page, said: “The global digital landscape is changing, with core business practices now increasingly cloud-based and digitally reliant. BSI is proud to be a trusted partner as organisations respond to this.”
ISO/IEC 27001:2022, an internationally recognised information security management standard, sets out how organisations manage information security risks and protect data they own or handle.
Page said: “Certification to the information security management systems standard (ISO/IEC 27001) shows that MobiPay has taken necessary steps to protect itself against cyber threats and ensure its information security is in line with global best practice. This focus on achieving digital trust is crucial in a world of technological transformation. Congratulations to the team on this achievement.”
MobiPay says the certification supports its broader role in Namibia’s digital financial ecosystem, where secure payment infrastructure is key to financial inclusion, business growth and public confidence.
The company says it remains committed to making trust visible, practical and responsibly managed as digital services continue to grow in Namibia.
