Prof. Nabil Baydoun, Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs at HBMSU, commented: “At HBMSU,

we are pleased to successfully renew ISO 27001 and BC 22301 certifications as it underscores our

commitment and expertise in utilising both technological advancements and human competencies to
ensure seamless service provision with utmost quality and safety. These certifications also validate our

exceptional capabilities in risk management and business continuity, crucial for maintaining flexibility

and ensuring swift recovery from unforeseen disruptions. These achievements fuel our determination to

further strengthen our preparedness to address risks and minimise their impact on the critical services

we offer. Our commitment is driven by our unwavering adherence to the highest standards of security,

legal compliance, and adaptability across all academic endeavours, further reinforcing HBMSU’s status
as a trusted educational institution that prioritises excellence in all aspects of the academic journey.”

This recent accomplishment stands as a monumental milestone in HBMSU’s relentless pursuit of

excellence, underscoring a legacy of unwavering commitment to information security and business

continuity. Notably, the University had previously attained the BC 22301 certification in 2017 and

the ISO 27001 certification in 2009, a testament to its enduring dedication. The renewal of the two
certifications in 2024 not only reaffirms HBMSU’s steadfast adherence to the highest standards but also

showcases its dynamic evolution and resilience in these pivotal domains. The sustained endeavour to

not just meet but surpass the exacting benchmarks set by these certifications epitomises the

University’s enduring pledge to operational integrity and safeguarding its information assets.

Accredited by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the ISO 27001 and BC 22301 certifications of an
institution represents its stringent adherence to industry best practices for information security and

business continuity. In addition to safeguarding its resources and reputation, these accreditations also

improve an institution’s operational resilience and efficiency, which in turn builds confidence with

stakeholders. Consequently, this achievement positions HBMSU as a leader in the academic

community, committed to improving information security procedures for the benefit of partners, staff,

and students. The University will take further measures to ensure the secure management of
information and uphold operational integrity.
