Pursuant to Article 29 of the Personal Information Protection Act, Apostille Korea takes the following technical, managerial and physical measures: minimizing and training staff who handle personal data; regular internal audits (quarterly); establishing and implementing an internal management plan; encrypting personal data (passwords stored encrypted; important data and transmissions encrypted or file-locked); technical measures against hacking and viruses; restricting access to personal-data systems and using intrusion-prevention systems; and access control to physical storage locations.
