Alliance Select Foods International Inc. disclosed a cybersecurity incident affecting certain information technology systems at its General Santos facility, prompting containment measures and an ongoing investigation.
The company said it has notified the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and moved swiftly to isolate affected systems and activate incident response protocols upon detecting the breach. External cybersecurity experts have been engaged to support forensic analysis and system recovery.
Initial findings indicate no confirmed unauthorized access to sensitive data, including personal information of employees and service providers. Still, the firm is conducting a comprehensive assessment to determine the full scope and potential impact of the incident.
Alliance Select said it has rolled out precautionary measures across its operations while restoring affected systems. Critical financial data remains secure, with backups in place to support recovery efforts.
The disruption has temporarily affected some systems, but the company said business continuity measures are in place to sustain operations while remediation work continues.
The incident underscores rising cybersecurity risks facing Philippine corporates, particularly those operating in export-oriented industries with complex supply chains and digital infrastructure. Even limited disruptions can pose operational and reputational risks, especially if investigations uncover vulnerabilities in data protection systems.
Alliance Select said it will continue to coordinate with regulators and relevant authorities as the situation evolves, adding that further disclosures will be made as needed.
The company emphasized its commitment to safeguarding data integrity and strengthening cybersecurity defenses, as firms across sectors ramp up investments to mitigate growing digital threats.
