The financial institution receives for the third time the certification that ratifies the security of its data center infrastructure
National District.- Banco BHD received its third Tier III Gold Certification of Operational Sustainability (TCOS) awarded by Uptime Institute Professional Services for its Main Data Center, a Gold-level recognition that validates the robustness of its technological infrastructure and its ability to operate efficiently, resiliently, and sustainably over time.
The report evaluates key aspects such as operational management, maintenance, security, continuous staff training, and risk administration, and confirms that the financial entity complies with Tier III standards in each of these dimensions.
Fidelio Arturo Despradel, executive president of Banco BHD, stated that the Gold certification, the highest level of Operational Sustainability granted by the Uptime Institute, represents an important recognition “of the operational quality of our organization and the permanent commitment of our teams to continuity, security, and reliability in every management task we perform, ensuring resilient and sustainable operations”.
“In this context, the accreditation especially validates the maturity of the bank’s operational processes, given that management and the human factor are decisive in ensuring long-term availability and reliability,” emphasized Despradel.
This is the third time that Banco BHD has obtained an international endorsement from Uptime Institute, consolidating the evolution and robustness of its technological infrastructure. In 2023, the entity obtained the Tier III Design Documents certification, and in September 2025, it achieved the Tier III Facility (TCCF) certification, marking key milestones in its process of technological strengthening and digital transformation.
