AlRayan Bank has received the National Information Assurance (NIA) Certification from Qatar’s National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA). The award was announced following a ceremony at The Ritz-Carlton in Doha. This certification recognizes AlRayan Bank’s efforts to improve information protection and cyber resilience amid increasing global threats.
The NIA framework differs from traditional IT security standards by integrating cybersecurity across the entire organization, including governance, processes, and business operations. For AlRayan Bank, this certification is seen as an important step in enhancing the security of its information assets and strengthening its practices throughout all departments. It also supports compliance with both national and international standards and contributes to Qatar’s broader information security strategy.
Mr. Omar Al Emadi, Acting Group Chief Executive Officer at AlRayan Bank, commented on the achievement: “We are proud to receive the NIA Certification, a clear reflection of AlRayan Bank’s relentless focus on information protection and cyber resilience. This is a pivotal step in our journey to safeguard information assets and embed robust security practices across the Bank. It also affirms our active contribution to Qatar’s national information security strategy, in line with global best practice. Above all, it embodies our steadfast commitment to protecting our customers’ and partners’ data, strengthening our ability to anticipate and counter cyber risks, and ensuring greater resilience and secure business continuity.”
Mr. Al Emadi also expressed gratitude to the National Cyber Security Agency for its support during the certification process. He said that the bank will continue working towards building trust with customers and shareholders by offering stable and secure digital banking services.
