ACOM (M) Obtains International Security Certification ISO

ACOM (M) Sdn Bhd, a licensed moneylender offering personal loans, has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS).

The certification marks a key milestone for the company, reinforcing its focus on data protection and cybersecurity as users become more reliant on digital financial services.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 sets strict requirements on how organizations manage, store and protect sensitive information.

For customers applying for personal loans online, this translates into stronger safeguards over personal and financial data, including protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats.

ACOM (M) said the certification aligns its operations with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), supporting the handling of customer data accordance with both local regulations and international best practices.

BUILDING TRUST

Managing director Masahito Osawa said achieving the certification within two years of operating in Malaysia was a significant undertaking for the company.

"It was a challenge to achieve ISMS certification in just two years of operating in Malaysia. Yet, it became a defining opportunity to demonstrate our belief that safeguarding customer data is essential to building trust, and that trust is the foundation for business success," he said.

Osawa said information security is central to the company's broader goal of reshaping public perceptions of the moneylending sector.

"Our goal is to change the perception of the moneylending industry and build a healthy, trusted market for everyone. We are committed to providing every Malaysian with fast, transparent and fully PDPA-compliant personal loan solutions.

"Our ISO certification is a testament to the rigorous processes and safeguards we have put in place to protect customer data, while we continue to maintain the speed and convenience our clients expect," he added.

RAISING INDUSTRY STANDARDS

ACOM (M) said the certification validates its internal governance, risk management and cybersecurity controls, which underpin its digital loan application process.

Recognised for its fast approval processes, clear and fair loan terms, and customer-first approach, ACOM (M) operates with processes designed to meet strict information security and data protection standards.

Whether customers are seeking funds for personal expenses, an emergency loan or other financial needs, ACOM (M) provides flexible, responsible and fully compliant loan options.

Licensed under the Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT), ACOM (M) operates from Menara Suezcap, KL Gateway in Kuala Lumpur and provides personal loans through a user-friendly, digital platform.
