The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 18th that it was selected for the highest grade, 'S grade,' in the 'Public Institution Personal Information Management Level Diagnosis' conducted by the Personal Information Protection Commission, recognizing its compliance with the Personal Information Protection Act and efforts in performing its duties.

This diagnosis was conducted on 796 institutions including central administrative agencies, local governments, and public institutions, assessing the level of personal information management over the past year. It was evaluated based on 53 quantitative indicators related to the fulfillment of legal obligations and 7 qualitative indicators including efforts by the head of the institution to enhance personal information protection levels.

The Small Enterprise and Market Service scored over 90 out of 100 points, receiving excellent evaluations across all areas. In particular, it received high marks in areas such as ▲implementation and improvement efforts of personal information processing policies ▲establishment and execution of internal management plans.

The Small Enterprise and Market Service explained that despite the introduction of a strengthened evaluation system from this year, it achieved the 'S grade' for two consecutive years as a result of company-wide efforts to raise security awareness among executives and employees and to spread a culture of personal information protection.

Park Seong-hyo, Director of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, stated, “Given that the institution manages a large amount of information related to small business owners and traditional markets due to its nature, all executives and employees are making every effort to thoroughly manage personal information protection,” and added, “We will continue to implement stronger personal information protection policies so that services provided by the Small Enterprise and Market Service can be used with confidence.”
