[Blockchain Today Correspondent Kim So-yeon] Blockchain Technology Research Center, the developer of the public blockchain platform Regis (LEDGIS), announced on February 24 from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), LEDGIS Wallet, a DApp of LEDGIS, and RealCollection, a premium art-based NFT marketplace. It announced on the 3rd that it has acquired two types of ISO27001 (Information Security Management System) and ISO27701 (Personal Information Management System) certifications, which are the world standard certifications for information protection.
ISO27001 certification is an international standard information security certification that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continuously improving an information security management system (ISMS). In the field inspection, it can only be obtained after passing the screening of 114 management standards in 14 fields, including information protection policy, physical security, and information access control.
On the other hand, ISO27701 certification is an extension of ISO27001, and provides additional guidelines on ‘protection of privacy’ according to the collection and processing of personal information. In order to obtain this, it is necessary to meet all 49 management standards in 8 fields required by the European Personal Information Protection Act (EU-GDPR), such as personal information management procedures, encryption, and de-identification.
ISO27001 and ISO27701 are the most authoritative international standards for information protection and personal information management, respectively. When the first certification is obtained, a 3-year validity period is granted, and an annual follow-up review is conducted during the validity period to maintain the certification.
ISO27001 and ISO27701 certifications are not mandatory for virtual asset operators or decentralized blockchain-related businesses. However, the Blockchain Technology Research Center said, “With this certification, we will be able to prove the information security capabilities of the LEDGIS Wallet and RealCollection service, including IDH (Identity Data Hub) that stores and manages users’ virtual assets and sensitive personal information. became,” he explained.
On the other hand, Blockchain Technology Research Center has added cloud information protection management system (ISO27017) and cloud personal information protection management system (ISO27018) certifications this year in relation to IDH, a decentralized large-capacity encrypted data storage/sharing solution applied to LEDGIS and RealCollection. will be obtained
If these two certifications are additionally acquired, it is expected to build the industry’s highest level of security system as a company that has all four ISO types. For reference, Upbit is the only virtual asset operator that has obtained all four ISO types among exchanges.
“This ISO certification is an important step in providing security and reliability of data in managing and sharing virtual assets and sensitive personal information owned by LEDGIS to participants in the LEDGIS blockchain ecosystem,” said Jeong-Ryun Lee, CEO of Blockchain Technology Research Center. He said, “Based on the trust of the participants, we will activate various DApp services such as NFT market Real Collection and DeFi service Lemonade, and further build an infrastructure that can lead the blockchain-based My Data market.”
