KSTAR, a listed provider of smart energy solutions, has been named a winner of the “Information Security Excellence Practice Award” by SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company. The award was presented at the “Building Trust Through Digital Foundations” AI Security, Data Governance and Global Compliance Forum, held in Shenzhen and hosted by SGS. The forum brought together participants to address AI lifecycle compliance, data governance, and cross-border regulatory alignment, and is regarded as one of China’s most influential events in the digital security and compliance space.

KSTAR was recognized for the systematic implementation of its information security management framework, following a multi-tier on-site evaluation conducted under SGS global standards.

A Management System Built for Scale

The award reflects the maturity of long-term information security program. The company has established and consistently maintained an ISO/IEC 27001-certified information security management system, receiving positive assessments from SGS review panels across successive on-site audits. Through sustained collaboration with SGS, KSTAR has kept its security operations aligned with high management standards, drawing on years of industry experience to develop a governance model suited to the energy, computing, and global supply chain sectors.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the most widely recognized international standard for information security management and a core qualification for companies pursuing global business, government contracts, and supply chain partnerships. To support its global expansion and AI-driven digital transformation, KSTAR has built an integrated security framework spanning policy, technology, and operations. On the policy side, this includes alignment with industry standards, defined business process controls, and internal audit mechanisms. On the technology side, KSTAR has deployed network isolation, data encryption and masking, emergency response protocols, and business continuity safeguards.

Validated by Regulators and Customers Alike

A mature security system must withstand both rigorous third-party certification and the practical demands of real world customer operations. KSTAR’s information security capabilities have earned recognition from Fortune Global 500 companies and leading partners across its industry, who have cited four areas of strength: company-wide information security training, rapid incident response, end-to-end business continuity assurance, and defense in depth network protection. Together, the SGS certification and customer feedback affirm that KSTAR’s ISO/IEC 27001 system is deeply embedded, consistently operated, and responsive to real business needs — underscoring information security as a differentiated core competency for the company.

Looking Ahead

Data compliance and information security remain central to sustainable global growth. Looking forward, KSTAR will continue to refine and scale its ISO/IEC 27001 system in step with emerging trends in AI security, data governance, and cross-border compliance, further strengthening its network and data protection capabilities. The company will apply standardized compliance processes, intelligent security tools, and continuous risk management across product development, manufacturing, and customer service.

As digital trust becomes fundamental to industry collaboration, KSTAR remains committed to driving high-quality, sustainable global growth while working with partners worldwide to build a more secure digital future.
