About

We have been on both sides of the audit table.

ACE LABS is an independent cybersecurity advisory firm for product security and international regulatory compliance. Built on 20 years inside manufacturing and years of regulatory and certification work at a global certification body — we design compliance around how your organization actually works, and see it through with you.

Why us

Compliance is hard because few people have seen both sides.

Manufacturers don't know what an assessor will look for. Assessors don't know why the factory floor can't simply do it. Time and money leak through that gap.

The regulated side

Manufacturer — 20 years at LG Electronics

Leading software development — learning first-hand how products actually get built, and where schedules and resources really break down.

+
The assessing side

Certification body — TÜV SÜD

Serving as cybersecurity team lead and executive director at a global testing and certification body — working on international regulation and certification, and what assessments actually examine.

So we don't just tell you what to prepare — we design how your organization can actually deliver it.We know the standard an assessment demands, and we know what a manufacturing organization can realistically carry. Bridging the two is the work.

    Advising Korean manufacturers on CRA readiness. Drawing on regulatory experience across CRA, automotive (ISO/SAE 21434), OT (IEC 62443), and machinery to deliver solutions that fit how each organization actually operates.

“No company is perfectly prepared for regulation from day one. Advising manufacturers, I kept running into the same problems again and again — and I wanted to turn the answers I had been solving one at a time into a system any company could use.”

— Minseok Ro, CEO of ACE LABS

Positioning. ACE LABS is an independent advisory firm — not a certification body (Conformity Assessment Body). We do not issue certificates or determine conformity. We provide pre-certification readiness and gap assessment, and support and advise on obtaining certification. Final conformity decisions rest with the competent authorities and notified bodies, and legal responsibility for compliance remains with the manufacturer.

Let's figure out where to start — together.
