Valitor has ISO security certification for all the information systems within the organisation from the British Standards Institution (BSI), a distinguished international certification body.

We have ISO 27001 certification, which covers all our operations and services in Iceland for merchants, banks, savings banks and cardholders. Valitor is the first Icelandic credit card company to attain this hallmark of quality, which results from the emphasis we have placed on information security issues since our establishment.

Protection of information

We have taken steps well beyond the requirements for certification, and Valitor has worked tirelessly on providing the highest possible level of information security and protection against any kind of threat.

We guarantee that any information registered in our information systems is accessible as the need arises to those who need to and are permitted to retrieve it. As a frame of reference, our security policy uses the Personal Information Protection Act and Regulations, an EU Edict on Personal Information Protection, along with other related security standards. The policy complies fully with the rules of the Data Protection Authority on the security of personal information and with instructions issued by the Financial Supervisory Authority in Iceland concerning the operation of information systems subject to mandatory supervision.

Important controls

Certification according to international standards on information security is proof that the company fulfils predetermined requirements.
