Taly secured ISO 22301 certification with ZeroSploit, strengthening its business continuity and resilience.

The standard ensures payments stay running, protecting “uninterrupted access and data integrity”.

Executives say it builds trust and shows operational maturity, not just box‑ticking compliance.

The certification followed a two-year journey covering risks, recovery planning and testing.

It reflects a wider MENA fintech shift from rapid growth towards long-term stability.

Taly, one of Egypt’s better-known digital payments players, has picked up ISO 22301 certification, a global standard focused on business continuity, after working closely with cybersecurity and resilience specialist ZeroSploit. In plain terms, it’s about making sure services stay up and running when things wobble — and in fintech, that’s spot on.

ISO 22301 is increasingly seen as a must-have in financial services. It pushes companies to map out what really matters, flag potential risks early, and prepare recovery plans that cover everything from staff and systems to tech infrastructure and third-party partners. It might sound like a bit of a faff, but when payments are part of daily life, uninterrupted access and data integrity are the whole game.

Mohamed ElEdeissy, Chief Strategy Officer at Taly for Digital Payments, said the collaboration with ZeroSploit helped the company build what he described as an integrated business continuity setup, designed to protect customers and keep services available even under pressure. He noted that the certification reinforces trust and signals Taly’s commitment to offering a reliable financial experience, no matter the circumstances.

From the partner side, ZeroSploit’s Chief Executive Officer and Regional Managing Director, Ayman Yousry, framed the milestone as a sign of Taly’s operational maturity. According to him, the focus throughout the process was on creating a practical continuity framework that actually works for fintech, rather than ticking compliance boxes for the sake of it. That distinction matters, I reckon, especially in a region where fast growth can sometimes outrun governance.

The certification wasn’t an overnight win, well… I mean, far from it. Taly officially secured ISO 22301 in December 2025 after a two-year journey that kicked off in December 2023. Along the way, the company went through detailed risk assessments, business impact analysis, scenario testing and the setup of governance and recovery mechanisms aligned with international best practices.

On the flip side, certifications alone don’t guarantee resilience. But having watched multiple MENA startups scramble during outages or cyber incidents, this kind of groundwork is something many founders quietly wish they’d done earler. At Arageek, stories like this tend to land because they reflect a broader shift: fintechs in the region are no longer just chasing growth, they’re doubling down on stability too. And believe it or not, that’s often what wins long-term trust.
