CWG Ghana achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification

CWG Ghana Limited, a leading provider of information and communication technology (ICT) services, has officially attained the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, a globally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). The achievement demonstrates the company’s unwavering commitment to data protection, operational resilience, and international best practices in cybersecurity.

The certification, which was awarded following a rigorous independent audit, covers key areas of CWG Ghana’s operations, including sales, finance, project management, technical operations, data centres, and disaster recovery sites.

“This certification is a major milestone for CWG Ghana and reaffirms our dedication to building robust, secure systems that inspire confidence among our clients and partners. It is not only a reflection of our internal controls, but also our strategic vision to exceed industry standards in information security,” Harriet Yartey, Managing Director of CWG Ghana and Vice President for Regions at CWG PLC explained.

With cyber threats increasing in scale and sophistication across Africa, the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 framework provides CWG Ghana with a structured approach to managing information security risks. The upgraded system includes 24/7 incident monitoring, a documented incident response plan, severity-based classification protocols, root cause analysis, and integration with business continuity planning.

“Our incident response capabilities have been significantly enhanced and aligned with global standards. We are now better equipped to detect, respond to, and recover from potential breaches with speed and precision,” Mrs. Yartey noted.

CWG Ghana’s certification also sets the stage for further investments in advanced security initiatives. The company plans to implement a Zero Trust Architecture, strengthen third-party risk management, and adopt security automation tools to improve efficiency and reduce operational risk. “This certification is not the endpoint, but the foundation for continuous improvement. We are committed to evolving alongside the threat landscape and maintaining the trust of our stakeholders,” Mrs. Yartey.

Beyond its internal systems, CWG Ghana is advocating for wider industry collaboration to raise cybersecurity standards across Ghana and the West African sub-region. “Security is ultimately not a one-organisation task,” Mrs. Yartey stated. “We are ready to work closely with regulators, partners, and the wider business community to promote a culture of cybersecurity awareness and resilience. Our achievement shows that this level of compliance is possible—and necessary—regardless of organisational size,” she added.

CWG Ghana’s certification aligns with the broader vision of digital transformation in Africa and contributes to Ghana’s ambitions of becoming a secure, regional technology hub.
