Conoris Technologies Releases Case Study on FineToday's Use of 'Conoris'

Conoris Technologies, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Inoue), a company developing products in the IT service management sector, has released a case study on the use of its web service security assessment and management service, 'Conoris,' by FineToday Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo). Since its founding in 2021, FineToday has built a 'cloud-native' environment and has prioritized maintaining and improving an efficient and effective governance system with a lean team. In this case study, we interviewed them about the background of the implementation and current operational results.

Background and Challenges: Previously, risk assessments were conducted using Excel, which presented three challenges: - 'Superficial' evaluations: Content varied due to free-text responses from vendors, making quantitative and systematic management difficult. - Increased man-hours: Manual checks reached their limit due to the rapid increase in the number of systems introduced. - Following frameworks: It was difficult to update questions in a timely manner to match security trends.

Reasons for Choosing Conoris: - Adaptability to change: The ability to flexibly and regularly update the questions themselves. - High practicality: The ability to prepare unique questions tailored to a Zero Trust environment, making it easy to align with internal standards. - Automation of operations: A mechanism to automate 'inventory' tasks such as continuous verification and annual updates.

Results of Implementation and Operation: - Field-led autonomous operation: A system was built where the field can continuously proceed with verification work without the security team intervening in every case. - Optimization of the shared responsibility model: Through the Conoris application flow, measures that should be taken by the user side (such as authentication) are appropriately executed and improved. - Sustainable improvement cycle: By utilizing Conoris support, the improvement cycle is running smoothly even after the start of operations.

Comment from the person in charge (Yusuke Tsutsumi, Manager, BITA4 Dept., IT Headquarters): 'Many SaaS tools tend to force a 'completed mold,' but Conoris aligns with what we want to achieve, and the customer success team provides flexible support, including functional improvements. I feel that this 'adaptability to change' is the great value of choosing Conoris. By incorporating it into our own processes and focusing on design that ensures effectiveness, rather than just installing the system and finishing, it will become a powerful weapon.'
