GAC Achieves Pioneering Data Security Certification

On December 24, GAC received a significant acknowledgement in the realm of vehicle data security by becoming the first automotive company to achieve the Vehicle Data Security Management System certification (Certification Number 03225DS00001). This accomplishment marks a pivotal moment, positioning GAC at the forefront of systematic vehicle data security development and creating a benchmark for automotive data governance in the era of smart connectivity.

The certification was granted in accordance with the national standard GB/T 44464-2024, which lays out the general requirements for automotive data. This reflects a thorough and systematic assessment of a company's data security management capabilities. Through the solid implementation of organizational structures, institutional processes, technical safeguards, and industrial chain collaboration, GAC successfully passed the evaluation, becoming the first automotive manufacturer in China to achieve this certification.

Recently, the GAC HYPTEC HL and the new S7 models have also successfully passed national data security compliance tests, excelling in five critical areas: facial information anonymization outside the vehicle, data processing within the cabin, non-default data collection from the cabin, explicit notification for personal information processing, and appropriate application of accuracy scope. These strong technical practices have validated the effectiveness of GAC’s management system.

The data security management system at GAC emphasizes not just technical protection of vehicles but also encompasses the entire lifecycle of data management—spanning collection, transmission, storage, usage, and destruction. This comprehensive control extends from research and development all the way to after-sales service. Through systematic and standardized management mechanisms, GAC commits to transforming data security into a core competitive advantage, while also providing users with smart mobility experiences that ensure technological comfort and peace of mind.

In the future, GAC aims to continue strengthening its data security capabilities, driving development through technology and governance. The company plans to collaborate with partners across the industrial chain to construct a more reliable and trustworthy ecosystem for connected smart vehicles. This initiative promises to enhance the safety of high-quality development in the automotive sector and foster an improved smart mobility lifestyle for users.
