[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] GC Green Cross Healthcare announced on the 24th that it has obtained the ‘Information Security and Personal Information Management System (ISMS-P)’ certification, the highest level of information security management system in Korea. This is the first time a healthcare company has received the ISMS-P certification.

The ISMS-P certification is a security management system jointly announced by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Personal Information Protection Commission. It evaluates whether corporate activities for information security and personal information protection meet the nationally accredited certification standards. The certification process is rigorous, requiring compliance with 102 audit criteria and 384 detailed control items.

GC Green Cross Healthcare stated, "During the main certification audit, we established management and technical protection systems for all business systems, designated protected office areas, applied restricted area access control systems, and established physical security systems, thereby meeting high-level requirements." They added, "Through this certification, having been recognized for our information security and protection capabilities, we will not only enhance business stability but also enable systematic prevention and response to various security threats."

Hyohjo Ahn, CEO of GC Green Cross Healthcare, said, "Future-oriented healthcare companies equipped with digital healthcare platforms handle sensitive personal information such as disease data, so it is essential to have a high level of information security and personal information protection to prevent and respond to security threats like hacking." He continued, "Having proven our information protection safety and reliability through this nationally accredited certification, we will strive to maintain the highest level of information security system in Korea."

Meanwhile, the ISMS-P certification, which integrates the Information Security Management System (ISMS) and the Personal Information Management System (PIMS), has only been awarded to major portal companies and some tertiary general hospitals in the ICT sector.
