Launch of Global Security Governance Construction and Improvement Consulting Service: Building a Robust Defense Foundation with 'Adaptive Governance' Optimized for Site-Specific Risks

Newton Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazuya Soejima), a firm specializing in risk management consulting, will launch its 'Global Security Governance Construction and Improvement Consulting Service' on May 28, 2026. This service is designed to support the construction and improvement of highly effective security governance systems linked to global business strategies, in response to the increase in incidents originating from overseas branches and group companies. Recently, cyberattacks have become a major management risk that threatens business continuity and social credibility, rather than just an issue for the IT department. In particular, attacks via supply chains and overseas branches that exploit gaps in security measures are occurring frequently, and conventional partial measures are insufficient. Under these circumstances, what companies need now is the establishment of 'security governance' that demonstrates leadership from management and embeds security into the corporate culture. Building an appropriate governance system not only leads to risk reduction but also serves as a 'foundation of trust' for economic security, compliance with global legal regulations, and fulfilling accountability to stakeholders. However, many companies feel anxious about managing supply chains and overseas branches, or face challenges such as rules that have become mere formalities. Therefore, our company has released this service to break the current situation where deficiencies in global and group-wide management systems lead directly to incidents, and to support the construction and improvement of highly effective governance. The features of the service include building a system that optimizes the balance between headquarters-led authority and autonomous operations tailored to the actual conditions of each branch, introducing 'adaptive governance' according to the IT maturity and local laws and regulations of the branch, and establishing global escalation rules to support rapid decision-making. In addition, to reduce the cost of responding to multi-layered regulations in each country such as NIS2, GDPR, and PIPL, we adopt a method of adding requirements for each country/region based on a global common privacy policy. The support period starts from 6 months, and the price is negotiable.
