[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Dong-A Socio Holdings announced on the 14th that it has received re-certification for the international standard of information security management system 'ISO 27001' and new certification for the international standard of personal information protection management system 'ISO 27701' from the British Standards Institution (BSI).

ISO 27001 is an information security management system established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). To obtain certification, a strict review process must be passed for 14 areas of information security management, including information security policy, physical security, access control, and legal compliance, covering 114 detailed items.

Dong-A Socio Holdings first acquired ISO 27001 certification in 2019 and has verified the validity of the certification through follow-up audits over two years. By receiving re-certification in this year's renewal audit, which is conducted in the third year according to the renewal cycle, the company has proven that it has continuously maintained information security capabilities that meet global standards.

The personal information protection management system ISO 27701 is an extension of ISO 27001 and verifies whether the company complies with the requirements for personal information protection. To obtain certification, the organization must meet management standard guidelines required by the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) in 8 areas and 49 items, including personal information management procedures, anonymization, and protection of data subject rights.

Starting with this ISO 27701 certification, Dong-A Socio Holdings plans to expand the establishment of personal information protection management systems across various affiliates in different industries within the group.

Jung Jae-hoon, CEO of Dong-A Socio Holdings, said, "To achieve the successful 100th anniversary of Dong-A Socio Group, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, we will secure information security and personal information protection stability throughout the group companies to respond to global business and strive for future ESG management based on a high level of security."
