The Small and Medium Business Technology Agency (SMBTA) has established and formalized a new "Privacy Protection Management Policy" to enhance data privacy.
According to the SMBTA, the key components of the policy include compliance with laws and guidelines, prohibition of use beyond intended purposes, measures to ensure safety, protection of the rights of data subjects, promotion of responsible management and culture, and prevention of harm with prompt responses.
With the announcement of this policy, the SMBTA aims to upgrade its information security infrastructure and ensure that employees adhere to security protocols, even in changing work environments such as cloud settings and remote work.
Recently, Director Kim Young-shin emphasized the importance of information security in a letter to all employees. This letter was intended to raise awareness about the significance of privacy protection and to foster a preventive security culture within the organization.
Director Kim stated, "The data and technological information managed by the SMBTA represent the valuable efforts of our small and medium-sized enterprises and are core assets that determine the future of our nation. Information security and privacy protection are not merely about compliance; they are essential values that our agency must uphold as a leader in innovation."
Additionally, the SMBTA was recognized as an excellent institution in the '2025 Public Data Provision Operation Status Inspection Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in April. The agency received high marks for establishing a data quality management system and laying the groundwork for the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
