Musinsa Obtains Information Security Management System (ISMS) Certification

"Active Expansion of Proactive Information Security Investments"

Musinsa announced on the 18th that it has obtained the Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification, granted by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), for the three online platform services it currently operates (Musinsa, 29CM, and LazyNight).

The ISMS certification is the highest authority information security certification in Korea, jointly announced and operated by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Personal Information Protection Commission under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection and the Personal Information Protection Act. Organizations that meet certain criteria such as sales revenue and number of users must pass a series of about 80 measures and activities to ensure safe information protection in order to receive this certification.

Musinsa has faithfully established an information protection system as a mandatory subject for ISMS certification since 2016. The newly acquired certification this time is notable for including the three online service sectors currently operated?29CM and LazyNight in addition to the existing Musinsa?as the scope of certification. This is because Musinsa merged 29CM at the end of 2021 and newly launched LazyNight in 2022, expanding the services operated by Musinsa.

Additionally, Musinsa proactively discloses its information protection status on the comprehensive portal operated by KISA for the purpose of providing users’ right to know, in accordance with Article 13 (Information Security Disclosure) of the Act on the Promotion of the Information Security Industry. The information security disclosure includes various Musinsa information protection activities such as △establishing next-generation threat response solutions and threat prevention △blind penetration testing and vulnerability analysis △security campaigns for employees △subscription to personal information protection liability insurance.

Jung Kwang-eun, head of Musinsa’s Information Security Team, said, “Musinsa is continuously expanding manpower and investment to improve and advance information protection processes,” and added, “We will continue to actively engage in proactive information protection activities to provide a safe service experience for both our partner brands and customers.”
