KUALA LUMPUR: CTOS Digital Bhd has received confirmation from Bank Negara that its subsidiary CTOS Data Systems Sdn Bhd's access to the central credit reference information system (CCRIS) has been restored effective Nov 17.

       It said in a bourse filing that CTOS had concluded a comprehensive and detailed review of CCRIS-related data assets and infrastructure with independent global cybersecurity exports as required by the central bank.

       "As Malaysia’s leading credit reporting agency, CTOS has and will continue to make significant investments to ensure all data and information in possession is protected with world-class certified data security technology.

       "Notably, CTOS’ IT and data security framework, policies, procedures, and systems shall continue to be benchmarked against ISO27001, as well as other global standards," it said.

       On Oct 1, Bank Negara had temporarily suspended CCRIS service to credit reporting agencies as a precaution against potential cyber threats and the possibility of data leak.

       CTOS saw 7.4% shaved off its share price in the two trading days following the announcement.

       On Wednesday, CTOS was down one sen or 0.52% to RM1.91 on the back of 19.92 million units traded.
