Background of the Event: Two Systems in 2027 That Will Determine the "Playing Field" for Transactions

In preparation for 2027, compliance with two systems that will significantly impact how companies conduct business will become fully effective.

The first is the "Security Assessment System for Supply Chain Strengthening (SCS Evaluation System)" promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in collaboration with the National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC). This system visualizes a company's security measures in "star" ratings based on common criteria. The operation of ★3 and ★4 is scheduled to begin at the end of fiscal year 2026 (around January-March 2027). The acquisition status is expected to be disclosed through a registration body and will become a new criterion for clients selecting their business partners. It is pointed out that this system may become as important as ISMS or P-mark, or even a transactional requirement.

The second is the stricter verification of identity (transaction verification) methods due to the revision of the Enforcement Regulations of the Act on Prevention of Criminal Proceeds Transfer (Act on Prevention of Criminal Proceeds Transfer). Towards the enforcement on April 1, 2027, the current mainstream method of "presenting the original of an ID document with a photo + visual confirmation by the staff" will be abolished in principle, and the system will shift to one centered on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using the IC chip of the My Number card. Real estate businesses, including real estate transaction agents, are also specified businesses under the Act on Prevention of Criminal Proceeds Transfer, and delays in compliance could directly lead to identity theft damage, contract disputes, and ultimately, lost deals.

While the SCS Evaluation System is not a legal obligation, the acquisition status of stars will be a direct criterion for selecting business partners, making it a system where "companies that do not comply may not be able to participate in business." Verification of identity under the Act on Prevention of Criminal Proceeds Transfer is a "legally mandatory requirement" for specified businesses, including real estate transaction agents. After the enforcement in April 2027, the current mainstream method will no longer be usable, and failure to transition to the new method could result in legal violations.

A common point for both is that "it will be too late to start acting after the system begins." Transitioning and preparation take considerable time, and companies may fall behind competitors who have already started their preparations. This seminar is intended for real estate and construction businesses, as well as other companies facing such challenges, to clarify the key points of both systems and "what should be prepared now."

Recommended for:

Those involved in identity verification in real estate transactions who are concerned about what to do in response to the legal amendments in 2027.

Real estate and construction businesses concerned about the risks associated with obtaining "stars" in the supply chain.

Those (manufacturing, wholesale, IT, transportation, etc.) who are beginning to be asked about their security measures by their clients or business partners.

Those who have already obtained ISMS or P-mark but are unsure about the differences from the new system and additional required measures.

Those who think "compliance can wait" but are concerned about the movements of their competitors.

Those who want to understand what to start with and how far their company has progressed in its preparations (gaps).

What You Will Gain from the Seminar:

A concise understanding of the key points of the two systems (SCS Evaluation System / Amendments to the Act on Verification of Identity).

An understanding of "what to prepare now" from the perspectives of experts in both security and real estate/construction DX.

Hints for identifying gaps with your company's current status and prioritizing actions.
