Olla Systems, a leading provider of cloud and IT infrastructure solutions, has been awarded two internationally recognised certifications: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for Information Security Management and ISO 22301:2019 for Business Continuity Management.
The certifications, issued by MSECB, a globally respected certification body, underscore Olla Systems’ commitment to high standards of data protection, risk management, and operational resilience across its markets in Africa and the Middle East.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is widely regarded as the gold standard in information security management systems (ISMS). Achieving this demonstrates that Olla Systems has put in place robust, risk-based controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data across its services and platforms. The certification is essential for organisations that handle sensitive or regulated information, especially in cloud computing, data hosting, and IT services.
In addition, the ISO 22301:2019 certification confirms that Olla Systems has built and maintained a comprehensive business continuity framework, ensuring that operations and services continue uninterrupted during unexpected disruptions such as cyberattacks, power outages, or natural disasters. This resilience is particularly critical for a firm providing mission-critical infrastructure and digital solutions to enterprises and institutions across different geographies.
Speaking on the certifications, Eniola Arausi, Head of Shared Services at Olla Systems, said:
“These certifications reflect our dedication to building trust with our clients and partners by prioritising security, compliance, and resilience at the core of everything we do. As a cloud services provider, our clients rely on us not just for innovation, but also for assurance and reliability.”
With the rapid digital transformation across Africa and the Middle East, and as businesses increasingly migrate to cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments, data security and continuity of service have become top concerns. Olla Systems’ move to align with global standards places it in a stronger position to support highly regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and government.
The ISO certifications also give the company a competitive edge in bidding for international contracts, collaborating with global partners, and maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions.
Industry analysts say the development is a strategic milestone that not only strengthens Olla Systems’ operational posture but also enhances its reputation as a trusted digital transformation partner in the region.
Olla Systems is part of a growing wave of indigenous African technology firms rising to meet international standards in data governance, compliance, and customer service. As digital infrastructure becomes central to the future of work, commerce, and public service delivery, such certifications will be seen as essential rather than optional.
The company has reiterated its plan to continue investing in cybersecurity, employee training, disaster recovery, and regulatory alignment to support its mission of delivering secure, scalable, and reliable digital services.
