Financial Services Act 2013 (FSA 2013)

One of the key legislation for the financial and insurance services industry includes FSA 2013. An Act to provide for the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, payment systems and other relevant entities to promote financial stability and for related, consequential and incidental matters.

ISO 9001:2008

Ge-pap is ISO 9001 certified, which is the international standard for a quality management system (“QMS”). This is one of the benefits our clients work with us because it gives them assurance that our management systems are constantly assessed and approved.

We are focused on meeting customer expectations and delivering customer satisfaction.

Network Penetration Test

Ge-pap performed Yearly Penetration testing on computer system, network or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. The main objective of penetration testing is to identify security weaknesses.

This Penetration testing is used to test Ge-pap’s security policy, its adherence to compliance requirements, its employees’ security awareness and the organization’s ability to identify and respond to security incidents.

BCP Test

The main objectives of a business continuity plan are to identify critical operations and risks, provide a plan to maintain or restore critical operations during a crisis, and create a plan to communicate with the clients during any unforeseen crisis.

 

The Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan (BCP/DR) is important for our clients and Ge-pap’s BCP continuously identifies the potential risk/impacts that threaten the operations of our Bank clients and all other key clients to work towards providing and upgrading a framework for building reliable response that safeguards the interests of all key stakeholders and their reputation.

 

One key advantage for Ge-pap is that we have our own electricity power generator set that can power up critical machines during TNB power loss to keep our operations running for at least another 24 hours.

 

Ge-Pap’s BCP and DR site are continuously audited by our major Bank customers at least 4-6 times per year to comply not only with standards acceptable within our industry but also that standards expected by our Banking Clients.

Data encryption

Ge-pap encrypts data that includes transmission, processing and data at rest. The purpose of data encryption is to protect digital data confidentiality as it is stored on computer systems and transmitted using the internet or other computer networks.
