KPMG M&A Center Online announced on the 30th that it has obtained international certification for its information security management system, recognizing its global-level information security management framework.


Samjong KPMG launched ‘KPMG M&A Center Online’ in August, a website that supports comprehensive M&A services for sellers, buyers, and investors wishing to engage in M&A, fundraising, and real estate transactions.


The ISO27001 certification received by ‘KPMG M&A Center Online’ is an international standard for information security management systems jointly established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It focuses on systematically managing risks to information assets and establishing processes to achieve information security objectives.


It is especially regarded as the most prestigious international certification in the field of information security, and this certification is significant as it was awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI), a globally reputable certification body.


Through this certification, ‘KPMG M&A Center Online’ passed rigorous audits and verifications on four major security control clauses?information security policy, personnel security, physical security, and technical security?as well as 93 detailed items.


Ha Byung-je, Head of Samjong KPMG M&A Center, stated, "Obtaining the ISO27001 certification proves that ‘KPMG M&A Center Online’ has systematically established and strictly operates its information security management system," adding, "We will continue to do our best to safely protect our clients’ valuable information and provide innovative and trusted services."


‘KPMG M&A Center Online’ is accessible through membership registration on the website and is strengthening its leading position in the market with new M&A advisory services.



Meanwhile, Samjong KPMG’s financial advisory division launched the ‘Samjong KPMG M&A Center’ last year, the first in the industry to gather collective intelligence from M&A experts to support the continuous growth of Korean companies. The center offers successful M&A solutions by enhancing corporate competitiveness and market adaptability, covering everything from deal sourcing and investor discovery to sales strategies for challenging assets.
