A Major Milestone in Our Security Journey

Why This Certification Matters

If you’re wondering why we’re so excited, it’s because ISO/IEC 27001:2022 isn’t just any certification. It’s the gold standard for information security across the globe. Gaining this certification means we’ve built, tested, and implemented a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) that aligns with internationally accepted practices. This wasn’t a checklist we flew through in a few days—this was a company-wide evolution. 

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is more than a technical document—it’s a strategic blueprint. It ensures that sensitive information is protected from theft, loss, and breaches. And in the payments industry, that kind of assurance is everything. Merchants, developers, financial institutions, and customers all benefit from knowing that every transaction processed through noon Payments adheres to global standards of safety. 

This certification is also forward-looking. It’s about sustainable systems that will evolve with new technologies and future threats. We aren’t stopping here. This is the foundation on which we’ll keep building. 

What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international benchmark for establishing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It’s a comprehensive framework designed to help organizations manage the security of assets like financial data, intellectual property, employee records, and information entrusted by third parties.

In short, it’s the definitive answer to a critical question: “How do you protect sensitive information in an age of cyber threats?”

Issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this standard is universally recognized. Companies that achieve certification under this standard demonstrate that they take information security seriously—not just in principle, but in practice.

It provides a structured method to identify security risks, implement controls to reduce those risks, and continually evaluate and refine the system for better performance.

Core Principles of ISO/IEC 27001:2022

At its heart, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is about control, responsibility, and improvement. Its structure focuses on several key principles: 

• Establishment and Implementation: Organizations must define the scope of their ISMS, document policies and procedures, and set measurable objectives that align with their business goals. 

• Risk Management: This is a systematic approach to identifying potential vulnerabilities, evaluating their impact, and applying risk treatments. It’s proactive, not reactive. 

• Security Controls: The framework requires a detailed set of controls that include both technical safeguards (like encryption and firewalls) and organizational measures (like access policies and staff training). 

• Continuous Improvement: Unlike static certifications, ISO 27001 expects continual monitoring, auditing, and revising. Security is never “done”—it’s always evolving. 

• Applicability Across Organizations: Whether you’re a small business or a large fintech firm, the framework is flexible and scalable to suit your unique operational needs. 

Implementing Controls That Matter

When we talk about implementing controls, it’s not just about firewalls or antivirus software—although those are important. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires a full set of technical, physical, and organizational controls that work together to protect sensitive data at every touchpoint. 

At noon Payments, this meant enforcing: 

• Access controls: Ensuring only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data. 

• Encryption standards: All transactional and user data is encrypted at rest and in transit. 

• Audit trails: Every interaction with our systems is tracked and recorded to monitor anomalies. 

• Secure development lifecycle: Our development teams follow secure coding practices and review every product and feature for vulnerabilities before deployment. 

We also built strong organizational controls: 

• Regular training for employees on data privacy. 

• Defined roles and responsibilities for incident response. 

• Third-party vendor risk assessments. 

These aren’t one-time implementations—they are continuously refined. Our systems automatically update and adapt based on the threat landscape, ensuring the highest level of proactive protection. 

Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

One of the cornerstones of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is continual improvement. Certification isn’t a finish line—it’s the beginning of an ongoing process. For noon Payments, this meant building a monitoring framework that detects anomalies, flags potential risks, and generates alerts in real time.

Versatility Across Industries and Companies

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is designed to be industry-agnostic, which means it can be applied to companies of any size and across all sectors. Whether you’re running a fashion boutique, a fintech startup, or a large enterprise, the principles are scalable and adaptable. 

noon Payments serves a broad spectrum of merchants—from small businesses to large multinationals. This certification allows us to confidently say that no matter the business size or industry, we meet the same elite global security standards. 

It also helps our merchants become compliant by association. When you partner with a certified provider like noon Payments, you’re inherently elevating your own security posture—without needing to invest heavily in your own infrastructure. 

What This Certification Means for noon Payments

Reinforcing Our Security-First DNA

Since day one, noon Payments has operated with a clear vision: security first. Every line of code we write, every system we deploy, and every decision we make is filtered through the lens of data protection. 

This certification is simply a formal recognition of that mindset. 

We didn’t have to change our company’s DNA to get certified—we aligned our existing values and processes with ISO’s rigorous standards. That’s why the audit process, though detailed and demanding, felt like a natural progression. We were already doing the hard work—now, the world sees it too. 

The Boost to Platform Reliability

Security and reliability go hand in hand. A system that’s well-protected from threats is also more stable, faster, and better performing. With ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, we’ve fine-tuned our infrastructure to operate like a well-oiled machine.

Our payment services are now more resilient against fraud, cyberattacks, and system failures. And when your business depends on every transaction going through smoothly, that’s a massive win.

Ensuring Merchant and Consumer Trust

Trust isn’t given—it’s earned. In an age of data leaks, identity theft, and digital scams, people are more cautious than ever. And rightly so. 

Our ISO certification acts as a seal of trust. It tells merchants and customers alike: “Your data is safe with us. We’re not guessing. We’re following globally recognized security protocols.” 

For consumers, it builds confidence in using our services. For merchants, it reduces the friction of explaining security to their own customers. Everyone benefits from a transparent, secure environment. 

How Our Payment Services Just Got Stronger

System Resilience and Infrastructure Upgrades

We didn’t just achieve ISO certification—we upgraded every part of our infrastructure in the process. Our payment services now include: 

• Redundant servers to ensure availability. 

• Secure APIs with multi-layered authentication. 

• Enforced sandbox testing environments. 

• Daily backups and disaster recovery plans. 

All of this means your payments are processed faster, more reliably, and with greater uptime. And in the world of digital commerce, seconds matter. 

Looking Ahead—What Comes Next for noon Payments?

Future Plans and Scaling Globally

Our ISO certification is a big milestone, but we’re already looking ahead.

We’re expanding our payment services across the MENA region and beyond, bringing our secure infrastructure to more merchants in more markets .

Each new feature will be built on the same ISO-certified security framework—so growth never comes at the cost of safety.
