ISO37001 and ISO37301 are standard specifications established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which involves 162 countries. These certifications identify, control, and manage potential corruption and compliance risks based on laws and regulations related to business operations in advance.
While ISO37001 contains guidelines related to anti-corruption, ISO37301 specifies compliance management policies that institutions must follow. Therefore, the Service's acquisition of these certifications signifies that its internal compliance management policies and risk management systems meet global standards.
The certification body, KSR Certification Institute, highly evaluated the Service for meticulously designing an internal control system to identify and manage potential risks to achieve management goals and effectively operating it, as well as proactively establishing a comprehensive internal control plan under the leadership of the head of the institution.
Jung Ki-seok, Director of the National Health Insurance Service, stated, “The value of public institutions lies in the trust of the people, and ethical and compliance management is essential to earn that trust. This integrated certification demonstrates the results of the continuous efforts of all employees.”
