At the core of our business operations is a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security. We recognize the evolving nature of security threats and the need for a proactive and comprehensive approach to safeguarding our people, technology, and data.

Security Measures:
To achieve our security objectives, we implement a multi-layered approach encompassing:
- The security and protection of employees must be the overriding priority of all business activity.
- Our employees are our first line of defense. We invest in ongoing security training and awareness programs to empower our workforce with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and respond to security threats.
- Heads of Department and Line Management must be continually aware of and take responsibility for the security aspects of its business activities. Security organization and resources must reflect this commitment.
- All incidents, including security breaches and irregularities must be reported and recorded. Corrective action should be taken and followed up through the regular verifications to improve the overall security standard of the company.
