Information Security Measures
In relation to our measures for information security, we follow information systems management rules, and take necessary measures for client devices such as PC, network, servers, and edge. The status of measures has been checked and audited by external experts annually. This security audit is a combination of an automatic diagnosis and a manual diagnosis conducted by examiners, and in this audit, security diagnosis to Web applications and Active Directories as well as penetration tests are conducted. If any vulnerability is detected by the audit, we will respond as soon as possible.
