Our support this new hybrid workplace, we rolled out MS Office 365, using cloud services to scale-up, manage and measure distributed employee experiences, and ensure ongoing productivity right from onboarding.
Our IT Division believes that DevSecOps is an integral part of agile working because it extends business responsiveness and reduces friction between different teams involved in value creation.
We currently have ISO/IEC 27000:2013 certification on Information Security Management for Core Banking and Internet Banking Services (valid from 29 October 2021 until 28 October 2024 and PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) certification version 3.2.1 at Level 1 (the highest compliance level).
To encourage Bank-wide participation, in early 2022, we will officially introduce our new Techcombank Security Reward Program. The program offers monetary recognition to employees who identify and report security risks, with rewards based on potential severity. IT’s success in 2021 saw us receive:
- 1st prize in the DF Cyber Defence competition organised by the National Cyber Security Centre (December 2020, 30 participating teams)
- 3rd prize in the Information Technology Department’s Information security to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the banking industry competition (Febuary 2021, 40 participating teams)
Other achievements and initiatives in 2021 Risk management
IT has increased its ability to self-identify risk and, as a result, risks recorded by other parties have decreased. Change management.
In 2021 we enhanced the Design Approval Board (DAB) mechanism to ensure our design solutions are based on architectural standards, guidelines and best-practice in solution and integration architecture; and that processes are aligned and harmonised across the Bank’s target enterprise architecture landscape. As a result:
- All project designs and BAU work in excess of 80 hours (from detailed analysis to deployment) must go to DAB once materials have been carefully reviewed by enterprise architects.
- High-level and detailed designs need to be approved in alignment with a project plan.
We also enhanced our Change Approval Board (CAB) mechanism, which now enables us to:
- Build and publish a visual dashboard of changes by business units and divisions, and the resulting incidents and success rates, to provide a comprehensive view of risk and its impact on current services and systems (this is synched with implementation plans for strategic BAU initiatives, IT projects and other IT system improvement activities, the project risk dashboard and IT’s operational risk dashboard).
- Record actual implementation results, identifying root causes and proposed solutions for each issue/ incident that is caused by change.
- Document lessons learned, creating a comprehensive IT knowledge base about change.
