The event was attended by the Managing Director, the Group Financial Controller, Head of Digital and Analytics and the dedicated ISO Champions— representatives from various teams responsible for managing and protecting customer and employee data.

Speaking at the ceremony, Moshood Olajide, managing director, Ardova Plc, commended the collective effort that led to this achievement, noting that: “This certification is a testament to Ardova Plc’s commitment to adhering to the highest standards of information security, risk management, and compliance as an organisation.
