[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coway (CEO Lee Hae-seon and Seo Jang-won) announced on the 13th that it has obtained the 'Information Security and Personal Information Protection Management System (ISMS-P)' certification from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA).

The ISMS-P certification is the highest-level security management system in Korea, jointly announced by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Personal Information Protection Commission. It evaluates and guarantees that a company's information security and personal information protection systems are managed in accordance with nationally accredited certification standards.

The ISMS-P certification is granted to companies that pass the conformity assessment of a total of 102 certification criteria, including ▲establishment and operation of information security management systems ▲protection measure requirements ▲requirements for each stage of personal information processing.

Since acquiring the 'Information Security Management System (ISMS)' certification in 2014, Coway has passed the annual follow-up audits for seven consecutive years, verifying the safety of its information security system. Notably, this year, despite being subject to voluntary certification, Coway proactively expanded the scope to include personal information protection and obtained the ISMS-P certification.

The certification scope covers Coway's online services such as its own mall 'coway.com' and the 'IoCare' mobile app, and with this audit, the certification qualification will be maintained until 2025.

Kim Dong-hyun, Chief Information Security Officer/Chief Privacy Officer (CISO/CPO) of Coway's DX Center, said, "With the acquisition of the ISMS-P certification, we have been able to further enhance the system safety of Coway's online services and the reliability and transparency of customer information protection." He added, "We will continue to strengthen our information security system so that Coway customers can use our services with peace of mind."
