This certification covers all business areas, including game development and publishing, as well as the overall development and operations utilizing AI technologies such as Co-Playable Character (CPC). It applies not only to the company's headquarters in Korea but also to major overseas offices in the United States, Europe, India, and Japan.


ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that evaluates the establishment and operation of management systems to protect information assets. ISO/IEC 27701 is a global standard that verifies protection systems for every stage of personal information processing. Both certifications serve as core criteria for responding to global regulations, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).



Krafton emphasized that, through these certifications, it has been officially recognized for its security and personal information management capabilities that meet global standards. Seokbeom Hong, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Krafton, stated, "This is an objective validation that Krafton systematically manages information security and personal information protection as a global service company. Moving forward, we will continue to prioritize user trust and further enhance our security systems to meet global standards."
