GMO GlobalSign K.K. (*1) (President & CEO: Katsuo Chujo, hereinafter GMO GlobalSign), a member of the GMO Internet Group, has launched the "Supply Chain ID Protect Plan" for its ID management and authentication service "GMO Trust Login" starting Tuesday, April 7, 2026. This plan enables ID management for external users such as business partners and sales agencies without the need for system development.
This plan allows for the ID management of external users included in the supply chain, such as affiliated partner companies, franchise stores, and sales agencies, without requiring development. Against the backdrop of the SCS (*2) Countermeasure Evaluation System (*3) set to begin operation in 2026, it supports companies in strengthening the cybersecurity required across their supply chains through simple operations.

(*2) The concept of addressing cybersecurity risks across the entire supply chain, including business partners and outsourcers. Emphasizes countermeasures against attacks originating from business relationships.
(*3) A system promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to visualize and evaluate the status of cybersecurity countermeasures across the entire supply chain. It emphasizes the countermeasure status of the company as well as its business partners and outsourcers.
## Serious Cybersecurity Risks in Supply Chains
With the expansion of digitalization in business-to-business transactions, opportunities for external users to access corporate portal sites and business systems are increasing year by year. On the other hand, the ID management for such external users is sometimes insufficient, with cases of account sharing or IDs being left unattended after usage ends.
In recent years, vigilance against cyberattacks targeting supply chains has heightened, and unauthorized access or information leaks originating from related companies like business partners, franchise stores, and sales agencies have become significant management risks for companies. Under the SCS Countermeasure Evaluation System promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the cybersecurity measures of the entire supply chain—including not only the company itself but also its business partners and outsourcers—are subject to evaluation.
Given this background, companies are required to establish and continuously operate ID and access management that includes not only their own employees but also external users.
"GMO Trust Login" has launched the "Supply Chain ID Protect Plan" as a service that allows the introduction of ID management for external users without system development.
## Main Features of the "Supply Chain ID Protect Plan"
This plan is a service that can centrally manage the IDs of external users, such as partner companies. It can be introduced without system development, allowing operations to start in a short period. As a result, it enables management based on a "one ID per person" premise even for external users, supporting the prevention of unauthorized access and the streamlining of audit responses.
- **Centralized ID management for external users**
Centrally manages IDs for related companies such as business partners, franchise stores, and sales agencies.
- **Deployable in a short time**
Enables phased implementation by integrating with existing partner portals and business systems.
- **High security even without certificates**
Realizes multi-layered defense independent of certificates through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and IP restrictions.
- **ID operation management tailored for external users**
Features specific to external users, such as automatic deactivation of unused accounts.
