vISMS-P certification criteria, November 2023 guide (101 criteria)
21 domains
101 controls

South Korea's Personal Information and Information Security Management System (ISMS-P) certification criteria, jointly notified by PIPC and MSIT and run by KISA, as revised in November 2023: 101 criteria in three areas. Management system (16): leadership commitment, CISO and CPO, organisation, scope, policy, resources; asset identification, status and flows, risk assessment and treatment; implementation, sharing, legal compliance, audits and corrective action. Protection measures (64): policies and assets, personnel and external party security, physical security, authentication and privileges, access control, cryptography, secure development, operations, cloud, public servers, endpoints, patching, malware, incident response and disaster recovery. Personal information (21, ISMS-P only): collection, consent and children, resident registration numbers, sensitive data, CCTV and mobile video devices, marketing, pseudonymisation, third-party provision, outsourcing, overseas transfer, destruction, privacy policy, data subject rights and use notices. ISMS (sections 1 and 2) is mandatory for designated providers; reform announced in April 2026 is not yet in force.

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what South Korea ISMS-P overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is South Korea ISMS-P and who does it apply to?

South Korea ISMS-P is a compliance framework from South Korea with 21 domains and 101 controls. South Korea's Personal Information and Information Security Management System (ISMS-P) certification criteria, jointly notified by PIPC and MSIT and run by KISA, as revised in November 2023: 101 criteria in three areas. Management system (16): leadership commitment, CISO and CPO, organisation, scope, policy, resources; asset identification, status and flows, risk assessment and treatment; implementation, sharing, legal compliance, audits and corrective action. Protection measures (64): policies and assets, personnel and external party security, physical security, authentication and privileges, access control, cryptography, secure development, operations, cloud, public servers, endpoints, patching, malware, incident response and disaster recovery. Personal information (21, ISMS-P only): collection, consent and children, resident registration numbers, sensitive data, CCTV and mobile video devices, marketing, pseudonymisation, third-party provision, outsourcing, overseas transfer, destruction, privacy policy, data subject rights and use notices. ISMS (sections 1 and 2) is mandatory for designated providers; reform announced in April 2026 is not yet in force. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does South Korea ISMS-P actually require?

South Korea ISMS-P has 101 controls organised across 21 domains. The largest domains are 2.10 System and service security management – South Korea ISMS-P (9 controls), 2.4 Physical security – South Korea ISMS-P (7 controls), 2.6 Access control – South Korea ISMS-P (7 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

The top mapping partners are TISAX - Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (11% coverage), NIST Privacy Framework (11% coverage), NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 (10% coverage).
