There are two ranks, "One-Star" and "Two-Star," depending on the stage of information security efforts. For the Two-Star rating, companies must assess their own situation using the "5-Minute Information Security Self-Diagnosis" attached to the IPA's "Information Security Measures Guidelines for SMEs" and publicly disclose their Information Security Basic Policy.
