eBen Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification

Dubai, UAE — June 16, 2025 — We’re excited to share a major milestone in our security journey: eBen has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the world’s leading standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

“Trust is the foundation of employee experience,” said Walid El Afifi, Founder & CEO of eBen. “ISO 27001 certification affirms our commitment to safeguarding our customers’ data with rigor and transparency as we help them elevate their people’s experience.”

What this means for our customers

ISO 27001 sets a comprehensive, risk-based framework for how an organization protects information—people, processes, and technology working together. For eBen customers and partners, this certification means:

• Verified controls and governance: Our security practices have been independently assessed against a globally recognized standard.

• Risk management by design: Security risks are identified, evaluated, and treated through a systematic lifecycle—built into how we plan, build, and operate our platforms and services.

• Operational resilience: Defined policies and procedures for access control, incident response, business continuity, backup & recovery, supplier management, and secure development.

• Continuous improvement: Regular internal reviews and independent surveillance audits ensure our ISMS remains effective and evolves with new threats and requirements.

Why it matters now

Employee data, benefit entitlements, communications, and usage insights are among the most sensitive information HR teams handle. As your partner in employee experience, we believe security is inseparable from engagement—people only engage fully when they know their information is protected. ISO 27001 strengthens that trust across our ecosystem of solutions and vendor networks throughout the MENA region and beyond.

Our scope and next steps

This certification covers eBen’s defined ISMS scope, including our core platforms and supporting operations. Maintaining certification requires ongoing audits and measurable improvements—commitments we’ve fully embedded into our roadmap. We will continue to refine our controls, expand security training, and enhance transparency around how we protect data.
