The National Information Society Agency (NIA) has obtained ISO 37001 certification, an international standard for anti-corruption management systems. This achievement objectively recognizes that NIA's internal control system, focused on prevention, meets international standards.
NIA announced on July 7 that it received the ISO 37001 certification from the Small and Medium Business Certification Institute.
ISO 37001 is a certification that evaluates whether an organization’s policies, procedures, and internal control systems for managing and preventing corruption risks are operated in accordance with international standards.
To achieve this certification, NIA revamped its ethical management framework based on a standard model and established a risk control management (RCM) system to manage ethical risks. RCM is a tool that identifies corruption risk factors within an organization and lists corresponding control activities for management.
Previously, NIA established an ethics communication team last year to manage ethical practices and has been operating an enterprise-wide risk management system led by integrity leaders from various departments. In May, NIA held a joint pledge ceremony on integrity, ethics, and human rights, where all employees participated in a commitment to uphold integrity, further promoting a culture of anti-corruption management within the organization.
Kim Hyung-cheol, the head of NIA, stated, “This ISO 37001 certification is a significant achievement that objectively recognizes our ethical management system as meeting international standards. We will continue to improve and practice to develop into a public institution trusted by the people.”
