Union Assurance, Sri Lanka’s longest-standing private Life Insurer, has achieved a landmark milestone by becoming the first Life Insurance Company to be certified under the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard, redefining information security benchmarks across the industry.

The globally-recognised certification affirms the strength and maturity of Union Assurance’s Information Security Management System (ISMS), which safeguards the organisation’s most critical assets — including customer data, business intelligence, financial information, intellectual property and third-party records.

The ISO 27001:2022 standard introduces several key updates, including enhanced control areas such as threat intelligence, secure coding, cloud service governance, data masking and ICT continuity.

These modern controls are instrumental in addressing today’s cyber risks and ensuring that information security is tightly woven into day-to-day operations.
