As digital banking continues to expand, we are dedicated to providing our customers with a secure, trusted, and resilient platform for all card and online transactions.”
This milestone positions Woori Bank (Cambodia) Plc among the leading financial institutions in Cambodia advancing cybersecurity resilience and digital trust. The certification process involved rigorous reviews of governance policies, IT systems, and operational controls to ensure full compliance with global security benchmarks and regulatory expectations.
The certification further strengthens the Bank’s digital ecosystem by ensuring:
- Robust protection of sensitive cardholder data through internationally recognized security controls
- Continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, and risk mitigation to reduce cybersecurity threats
