Public cloud certification to be unified under NIS approval from second half 2027
South Korea will simplify verification for cloud companies seeking access to the public sector by unifying the process under a single National Intelligence Service security review. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the NIS announced the plan on April 20. Products already certified under the existing Cloud Security Assurance Program will remain valid until their expiry. The government will revise related security guidelines in the first half of this year, set a one-year grace period and enforce the new system from the second half of 2027.
