Short-form video platform achieves highest security certifications

Kwai, one of the world’s fastest-growing short-form video platforms, has received ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications. These international standards demonstrate that Kwai meets the certification’s highest international (data) security standards.

Zhang Hua, Head of Kuaishou Information Security, said: “Achieving the ISO 27701 and 27001 certifications is another step in our comprehensive security journey. Kwai will continue to increase investment in the field of information security, strengthen privacy security protection, continuously improve itself with technological and management innovation, deepen its information security compliance system, and provide users with more secure and credible services.”

Calvin Liu, Head of Kuaishou Compliance, Communication Experience, and Partnership says: “This certification reflects Kuaishou’s social responsibility and commitment to user information security, marking that Kuaishou has reached the international advanced level. The certification reflected on Kwai’s controls, global security, and risk operations meeting the highest standards and its advanced protection protocols, its development, infrastructure, operations, and services to users worldwide.” 

ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. The ISO/IEC 27000 family is a globally recognized standard for information security that recognizes companies that maintain information confidentiality, integrity, and availability while also adhering to legal requirements. ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 that includes additional requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

The ISO/IEC 27701 and ISO/IEC 27001 standards require that management examine the organization’s information security risks systematically, taking into account threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts. It attests to Kwai’s implementation of an overarching management process to ensure that its security controls continue to meet its needs on an ongoing basis.
