Kumho Tire Obtains Information Security Certification from German Association

Kumho Tire announced on the 29th that it has received TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) certification from the German Association of the Automotive Industry.

This certification is a standard required for suppliers of new car tires and other parts and partners. It is a certification system created by the German Association of the Automotive Industry to standardize security evaluation criteria for automakers worldwide. Based on the ISO/IEC 27001 of the International Organization for Standardization, it evaluates four categories: information security system, partner security system, data protection system, and prototype protection system.
