Why ISO 27001 matters in Prague

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). With 93 controls across organizational, people, physical, and technological themes, it provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information. ISO 27001 certification is increasingly a prerequisite for doing business in the EU financial sector.

Prague's major banks are subsidiaries of Western European groups (KBC, Societe Generale, Erste), creating a unique compliance dynamic where DORA implementation must align with parent company frameworks while meeting local CNB requirements. The CNB has been one of the most technically sophisticated regulators in CEE, with advanced cyber risk assessment capabilities. Czech Republic's NIS2 transposition through the new Cybersecurity Act significantly expands the scope of regulated entities. PPF Group's diverse portfolio spanning banking, telecom, and technology creates cross-sector compliance challenges that demand integrated solutions.
