[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LG Electronics has strengthened its competitiveness in the automotive parts business by obtaining the global information security certification ‘TISAX’ in all three major sectors of its automotive components division.

On the 15th, LG Electronics announced that its key VS Business Division sites, including LG Science Park in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, LG Digital Park in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, and the joint venture LG Magna e-Powertrain plant in Seo-gu, Incheon, have all received TISAX certification. Last year, its subsidiary ZKW in Austria also obtained this certification.

TISAX is a global information security certification created by the German Association of the Automotive Industry to standardize the different security evaluation criteria held by each automobile manufacturer. Based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO/IEC 27001, it evaluates security in four aspects: ▲information security system ▲partner security system ▲data protection system ▲prototype protection system.

Most European automobile manufacturers require strict security standards when selecting parts suppliers. LG Electronics plans to expand its presence in global markets, including Europe, leveraging the fact that all three key automotive component business sites?infotainment, electric vehicle powertrain, and automotive lighting systems?have obtained TISAX certification.

Eun Seok-hyun, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics’ VS Business Division, said, “Based on differentiated component technology and top-level security management capabilities, we will firmly establish LG Electronics’ position in the fiercely competitive global automotive parts market.”
