Managing IT infrastructure in Korea from abroad is harder than it looks. Different vendors, different regulations, different language — and no one on your team who knows the terrain. Emet IT is your Korea IT Project Manager: one point of contact for everything from network buildout to security compliance.
Korean IT infrastructure has its own vendors, regulations, and language. Managing it from abroad — or through a local team with no IT background — creates gaps that cost time and money.
ISP, LAN contractor, software vendor, security firm — all managed separately, all communicating in Korean. No one is coordinating the full picture, and issues fall through the cracks.
Korea's data protection law applies to any company processing Korean personal data — globally. In January 2025, a major international technology company's distribution entity was fined ₩2.4B by Korea's PIPC for a data transfer compliance issue. Since the 2023 amendment, fines are based on the entity's total revenue — not just Korea-related revenue. From September 2026, repeat or serious violations can reach up to 10% of total revenue.
North Korean state-sponsored groups specifically target foreign companies with Korean subsidiaries. Generic global security tools aren't calibrated for their tactics. Korea-based expertise is the only effective countermeasure.
Whether you're setting up a new Korea office or managing an established subsidiary, Emet IT handles the full IT lifecycle so your team doesn't have to.
Setting up factory IT, connecting to HQ systems, managing LAN buildout vendors — coordinated and supervised by Emet.
Companies with established Korean offices needing a single IT point of contact for day-to-day issues, vendor management, and compliance.
Clinics and hospitals treating Korean patients — network infrastructure, patient data compliance (PIPA), and secure connectivity all managed.
Platforms with Korean users requiring PIPA compliance, North Korean APT defense, and Korean banking system connectivity.
Korean operations for foreign retail or food brands — POS systems, ERP integration, staff IT setup, and ongoing support.
Companies setting up their first Korea office who need end-to-end IT setup: ISP selection, network buildout coordination, software procurement, and security baseline.
From network infrastructure to security compliance — Emet IT manages Korea's entire IT landscape on your behalf. We coordinate certified Korean vendors, supervise execution, and keep your HQ team informed at every step.
Planning a new office, factory floor, or branch? We source and vet licensed Korean LAN contractors, coordinate the project from design through sign-off, and supervise execution — so you're not navigating Korean construction regulations or managing vendors in a language your team doesn't speak.
24/7 managed security monitoring through domestic and international partners, configured specifically for Korea's threat landscape — including North Korean APT group TTPs that generic global tools miss. PIPA compliance management ensures your Korean data handling meets regulatory requirements before enforcement finds you first.
Selecting and implementing software in Korea requires knowledge of the local vendor landscape, Korean-language contracts, and integration with Korea-specific systems (tax, HR, banking). We manage the entire process — from vendor shortlisting through go-live — so your HQ team doesn't need to get involved in the details.
A contracted Korea IT PM covers everything that comes up — vendor issues, new equipment, security incidents, compliance questions, software problems. One monthly fee. One point of contact. No more routing Korean IT issues through HQ teams that don't know the local environment.
Every instruction, update, and decision is communicated in writing — to Korean vendors in Korean, to your HQ team in English. No verbal miscommunication, no he-said-she-said. You always have a clear paper trail of what was agreed and what was done.
We work with trusted domestic and international security and infrastructure partners — meaning every configuration is optimized for your specific environment, not off-the-shelf. You get the right vendor for the job, every time.
Korea's data protection law follows Korean personal data anywhere in the world. We understand it deeply — and we built compliance management into every engagement, not as an add-on.
Instead of managing 4~6 Korean vendors separately, you have one monthly contract with Emet IT. We coordinate, supervise, and keep your HQ team updated through written reports — so your team focuses on the business, not the infrastructure.
