GAC Achieves First Industry Certification for Vehicle Data Security Management System

On December 24, GAC officially marked a historic advancement in vehicle data security by becoming the first company to obtain a certification for its Vehicle Data Security Management System. This certification, identified as certificate No. 03225DS00001, reflects GAC's pioneering role in establishing a systematic approach to data security within the automotive industry, particularly in an era increasingly defined by smart connectivity.

The certification process was guided by the national standard GB/T 44464-2024, known as General Requirements for Automotive Data. This thorough assessment scrutinized GAC's management capabilities regarding data security. With a robust organizational structure in place, detailed institutional processes, reliable technical safeguards, and collaborative efforts within the industry chain, GAC successfully passed the evaluation. This achievement positions GAC as the first Chinese automobile manufacturer to be recognized with such certification.

Furthermore, GAC's latest models, including the HYPTEC HL and the innovative S7, have also successfully passed national data security compliance tests. These vehicles demonstrated outstanding performance in five critical compliance areas: facial data anonymization outside vehicles, data processing within cabins, non-collection of cockpit data by default, explicit notifications for personal data processing, and the application of precise and appropriate data usage scopes. Such rigorous technical practices have validated the efficacy of GAC's data management system.

GAC's approach to data security management extends beyond mere technical vehicle protection. It encompasses the entire data lifecycle, which includes collection, transmission, storage, utilization, and destruction. This holistic view facilitates a closed-loop control system that spans research and development through to after-sales services. By implementing standardized and systematic management mechanisms, GAC aims to transform data security into a key competitive advantage while offering smart mobility experiences where users can enjoy technological conveniences with peace of mind.

Looking ahead, GAC is committed to enhancing its data security capabilities and driving development through two main engines: technology and governance. The company plans to collaborate closely with industry partners to build a smarter and more trustworthy ecosystem for connected vehicles. Through these efforts, GAC aims to inject a robust “security driving force” into the high-quality development of the automotive industry, ultimately creating a better intelligent mobility experience for users.

GAC is setting a precedent in the global automotive market by prioritizing data security, paving the way for a future where consumers can confidently embrace the offerings of smart technology without compromising their personal information. As GAC continues to innovate and expand its capabilities, it remains at the forefront of enhancing data security measures essential to the evolving landscape of modern transportation.
