Progress Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yuji Murofushi) is pleased to announce that as of April 17, 2026, it has acquired certification for the Information Security Management System (ISMS) international standard "ISO/IEC 27001:2022" and the domestic standard "JIS Q 27001:2023".
In this initial certification audit, we were recommended for certification with the highest rating of zero non-conformities, both major and minor.
Background of Certification Acquisition: Security is not a 'Cost' but 'Quality'
Our corporate philosophy is "to provide new value with high commitment, positive and powerful driving force, and reliable technical capabilities." As a company handling valuable information assets including client data, we have continually worked on strengthening information security.
We do not view information security as a cost or a defensive measure, but as part of the highest quality we offer to our clients, and we have been working to continuously strengthen our internal systems. In addition to bolstering internal controls, we obtained the ISMS certification to ensure its effectiveness through objective third-party evaluation and to provide peace of mind to our clients.
This ISMS acquisition is not merely about compliance with discipline. As a partner entrusted with clients' valuable information assets, we view security not as a cost (defense) but as value (offense), and by continuously investing management resources, including personnel and budget, we will build a solid foundation of trust.
"Evidence of Trust" Unique to Progress Inc.
Comprehensive Certification Scope Covering All Businesses
This certification is not limited to specific departments or services, but covers all our businesses, from contract development and operations/maintenance, to business commercialization support services, and the development/operation of our own products (acomo, Sysmori, Raiko, etc.). We have established a system that guarantees a consistent level of security across all services, allowing clients to use them with peace of mind.
Complete Harmony of "Full Remote" and "International Standards"
We employ a full remote system with engineers residing nationwide. Our efforts regarding workstyles have been recognized in the past with accolades such as the "Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Award for Enterprises Promoting Telework (Shining Telework Award) Excellence Award" and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Telework Top Runner". With the acquisition of this certification, it has been proven by a third-party organization that we balance "highly flexible workstyles" and "information security governance compliant with international standards" at a high level.
An Effective Information Management System Proven by Zero Non-Conformities
In our initial certification audit, we received a certification recommendation with an extremely high conformity evaluation of zero major and minor non-conformities. This is the result of proving that our operations go beyond formal document management and meet international standards at a practical level. It was highly evaluated that the high awareness of each individual has taken root as organizational discipline. Through this solid, autonomous operation, even under the flexible environment of full remote work, as a partner entrusted with clients' precious assets, we will always guarantee stable service quality.
Future Outlook
Treating this certification acquisition as a new starting line, we will strive to continuously improve our ISMS and provide even safer and more reliable services.
