ISO 27001 is an international certification established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) related to information protection management systems. It requires passing audits and verifications by ISO certification bodies on 11 areas of information protection management and 133 control items.

Celltrion explained that following its designation last year as a holder of national core technology and this year as a holder of national advanced strategic technology, the need to maintain and verify technology protection management systems has increased. Therefore, the company pursued this certification to effectively manage its information security system, establish standards for information protection tasks, and improve its level. With the introduction of ISO 27001, it expects effects such as ▲protection of national core technology ▲securing a foundation for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management ▲increased trustworthiness of internal and external information security and enhancement of corporate image ▲strengthened response capabilities to domestic and international regulatory agencies and external audits.

Since 2020, Celltrion has been sequentially pursuing international standard certifications to strengthen ESG management activities and transform into a sustainable pharmaceutical and bio company. With the acquisition of ISO 27001 this time, the company has obtained a total of six international standard certifications including ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management System), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management System).

A Celltrion official stated, “As a company designated for national advanced strategic technology, we introduced and operated a high-level information security management system to prevent technology leakage, resulting in obtaining ISO 27001 certification for the entire GMP system handling core technology competitiveness. Through this, we prove that we are a safe and trustworthy company not only to customers and partners but also from the perspective of economic security, and we expect it to contribute to building high trust in the global market in the future.”
