CPF Financial Services has successfully completed the implementation of its Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), culminating in a certification audit by Certitrust from March 25-27, 2024.

Following a detailed assessment against the ISO 22301:2019 standard for business continuity best practices, Certitrust has recommended CPF for certification. 

With the ISO 22301:2019 certification, CPF aims to enhance its resilience and reduce the potential impact of disruptions on its operations and reputation, thereby boosting stakeholder confidence.

The standard provides a structured approach to business continuity management, enabling organizations to identify critical processes, develop response plans, and implement controls to mitigate risks and minimize downtime.

Currently, 137 companies in Africa are certified to ISO 22301. The leading countries include Nigeria with 62 certifications, Egypt with 15, South Africa with 15, Senegal with 10, Ghana with 9, Kenya with 7, Tanzania with 2, and Rwanda with 2.

CPF's certification ranks it among the elite companies in Kenya to achieve this distinction.

“We are thrilled to announce that Certitrust has recommended CPF for ISO 22301:2019 certification, placing us among the top six countries with this certification. This certification underscores our commitment to providing our customers with uninterrupted service, even in the face of challenges. I commend our Risk and Quality Assurance team for their dedication and hard work in facilitating this process," said CPF Group Managing Director/CEO, Dr. Hosea Kili.

"In our ongoing pursuit of strategic objectives and enhanced service quality, onboarding the ISO 22301 certification for Business Continuity was a crucial step. This achievement positions CPF as a leader in the financial services industry and ensures we remain great by choice. I urge everyone at CPF to embrace this certification and actively support its ongoing maintenance."
