What is DATACRYPTO and what security need does it address?

DATACRYPTO is a real-time encryption and decryption solution for unstructured data. It protects personal information by encrypting DB, file-level, and unstructured data in accordance with major regulations such as the Personal Information Protection Act. It provides optimized encryption methods based on each business system’s environment.

How does DATACRYPTO ensure compliance with Korean personal information regulations?

DATACRYPTO fully complies with the Personal Information Protection Act, the Personal Information Safeguard and Security Standard, and the guidelines of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. It encrypts all personal information elements—unique identifiers, passwords, biometrics, and any unstructured files containing personal data.

Why is encryption required even when logs, recordings, or images are already collected?

According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s encryption guidelines, log access control or recordings viewed through a separate viewer do not count as encryption measures. Organizations must deploy a standalone encryption mechanism, and DATACRYPTO provides this required layer of certified protection.

The EU GDPR defines a broader scope of personal and sensitive information (e.g., location data, IP address, genetic and health information). DATACRYPTO encrypts all such unstructured data sources, enabling organizations to comply with GDPR’s stricter standards.

What unstructured data can DATACRYPTO encrypt in real time?

DATACRYPTO encrypts unique identifiers, passwords, biometric information, and all forms of unstructured data, including recordings, videos, image files, logs, and other files containing personal information. Encryption and decryption occur in real time without interrupting system operations.

How does DATACRYPTO manage user permissions for encryption and decryption?

Permission management is based on OS account, process, IP address, and security account combinations. This granular control restricts who can encrypt or decrypt data and aligns with Article 13 of the regulations for electronic financial business supervision.

How does DATACRYPTO minimize system load and maintain workflow stability?

DATACRYPTO uses minimal CPU resources in existing environments, removing the need for additional hardware. High-availability clustering ensures continuous operation, stability, and improved workflow efficiency during encryption tasks.

What encryption methods does DATACRYPTO support?

DATACRYPTO is the only Korean product supporting all three main encryption methods:

Kernel-level encryption (system layer, no application modification, real-time)
Agent-level encryption (application layer, no modification, supports any OS)
API-level encryption (real-time, for business systems that allow application integration)

This flexibility lets organizations choose the optimal method for their systems.

What encryption algorithms does DATACRYPTO use?

DATACRYPTO uses encryption algorithms verified by the National Intelligence Service and other international security institutions. It supports multiple OS platforms and various application environments to ensure secure and standardized encryption operations.

How does DATACRYPTO manage encryption keys and audit logs?
