Security Criteria to
Verify Before Choosing an LMS
Verify these key points before entrusting personal data to an education platform.
Korea's highest-level integrated security certification
Global security management framework
Major insurers, banks, and financial clients
Security Checklist
-
Does the vendor hold ISMS-P or equivalent security certification? ISMS-P is Korea's highest-level integrated certification operated by KISA, requiring 101 criteria across 3 domains with annual surveillance audits. Required by financial and public institutions for vendor selection.
TouchClass holds both ISMS-P & ISO 27001 -
Is encrypted storage and transmission of personal data supported? Is RBAC in place? AES-256 for data at rest and TLS 1.2+ for data in transit must be applied. Without role separation for admins, operators, and learners, enterprise data may be exposed too broadly.
-
What is the operational reliability level? Is there a CERT incident response system? Is a DR system in place? If the platform goes down during mandatory training deadlines, legal liability issues arise. Verify operational reliability and incident response provisions in the contract beforehand.
-
Has the vendor passed vendor security audits? Does it hold CSP (Cloud Service Provider) security certifications like AWS? Financial and enterprise clients often have stricter internal standards, and passing their audits serves as external validation of security capabilities.
Major insurer & bank vendor audit: 99.1 points
Annual surveillance audit passed

How to verify an LMS vendor's security posture
These five checks can be put to any vendor on equal terms. TouchClass answers each one with a publicly verifiable source.
| Check | What to request from the vendor | TouchClass published evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Security certification | The certificate itself, its scope, and its validity period | ISMS-P and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified |
| Data residency | Region, redundancy setup, backup cadence | AWS Seoul Region |
| Encryption | Encryption method at rest and in transit | AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit |
| Financial-sector reference | Vendor security reviews passed at comparable scale, and incident history | 17 financial institutions, about 135,800 cumulative users, 5 years without service interruption |
| AI training data | Confirm in the contract whether customer data trains the vendor's models | Customer knowledge assets are not used as AI model training data |
* This is a vendor-neutral checklist. The certification status of other vendors has not been surveyed, so TouchClass makes no assessment, ranking, or comparative claim about them. Verify any vendor's certifications against the KISA registry and the certificate the vendor provides. (Source: touchclass.com/en/security)
