GMO GlobalSign to Launch 'GMO Trust Login: Medical Institution Authentication Enhancement Plan' on March 30, 2026

GMO GlobalSign K.K. (a member of the GMO Internet Group) will launch the 'GMO Trust Login: Medical Institution Authentication Enhancement Plan' on Monday, March 30, 2026. This service is designed to support compliance with the 'Guidelines for Safety Management of Medical Information Systems, Version 6.0'.

This plan combines the existing 'SSO Pro Plan' with the 'Password Leak Detection' option, optimized for the cybersecurity needs of medical institutions.

To commemorate the launch, a 'Security Enhancement Starter Campaign' will be held for a limited time, offering a 20% discount on the first year's fees for new sign-ups.

【Growing Cyber Threats to Medical Institutions】

In February 2026, a university hospital in Japan suffered a ransomware attack via a VPN used for medical equipment maintenance, resulting in the leakage of patient information for approximately 130,000 individuals. This incident, which led to system failures and ransom demands, highlighted the urgent need for robust authentication infrastructure and continuous monitoring in medical information systems.

The 'Guidelines for Safety Management of Medical Information Systems, Version 6.0' mandate the implementation of two-factor authentication and systems to continuously verify account security. However, implementing these measures individually poses challenges in terms of operational burden and cost. This new plan is designed to provide these essential security features in a simple, integrated package.

【About the 'GMO Trust Login: Medical Institution Authentication Enhancement Plan'】

The plan includes the 'SSO Pro Plan,' which offers advanced authentication features such as Windows integrated desktop SSO, multi-factor authentication (one-time passwords, IP restrictions), and passwordless authentication (push/FIDO). Combined with the 'Password Leak Detection' option, it allows medical staff to access multiple systems securely with a single ID and password.

《Plan Details》
● Monthly Fee: 500 JPY per ID (550 JPY including tax)
● Launch Date: Monday, March 30, 2026
● Target: Medical institutions (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, etc.)

【'Security Enhancement Starter Campaign'】

● Period: March 30, 2026, to April 30, 2026
● Offer: 20% off the first year's fees for new subscribers to the plan.

【Strengthening Security Amid Regulatory Changes】

With the 2026 medical fee revisions, cybersecurity measures have become a mandatory requirement for medical DX. The transition period for compliance has ended, and institutions are now expected to have these systems fully operational. With public funding also available to support these upgrades, this plan provides a practical solution for medical institutions to meet these new standards.
