■ Responsibility as an ICT Business Handling Diverse Information Including Personal Data
The ICT Solutions Division provides various ICT services and solutions that support corporate activities, especially on-site safety and peace of mind, including products and services that support access control and manufacturing sites. In these fields, scenarios handling critical information assets, such as business data and personal information, are increasing year by year.
In particular, the access control system "Y-GATE" (https://www.y-gate.net) is a system that handles data closely related to personal information, such as authentication data and entry/exit logs of employees and visitors, which was one of the central catalysts for acquiring ISMS this time. While access control contributes to securing facility safety and improving operational efficiency, it is an area where appropriate information management is strongly required.
Recognizing the importance of information management in Y-GATE, the division has taken measures across all stages of system design, operation, and organizational structure for the entire division to uniformly apply information security standards to all ICT services and solutions provided by the division, rather than limiting them to specific products or services.
■ Establishment of an Information Security System Based on International Standards
With the acquisition of the ISO/IEC 27001 certification this time, we have systematized the following initiatives based on international standards:
- Risk assessment and management of information assets
- Continuous review and improvement of management systems and operational processes
- Education and awareness activities for employees
Through this, we will systematically and continuously strengthen information security and personal information protection in various ICT services and solutions, including Y-GATE.
■ Providing Highly Reliable Solutions Based on Multiple Standard Certifications
Yoshikawa Kogyo's ICT Solutions Division has established a management system based on multiple international standards:
- ISO 9001: Stable provision of high-quality products and services
- ISO 14001: Environmental consideration and sustainable business activities
- ISO/IEC 27001: Appropriate protection of information assets and ensuring security
By integrating advanced information security in the ICT field with the quality and environmental initiatives cultivated in the manufacturing industry, we continuously strive to provide solutions that our customers can use with peace of mind.
■ Future Prospects
Based on ISO/IEC 27001, the division will continue operations with an emphasis on information security and personal information protection, from system design and manufacturing to operation, in ICT solutions in various fields, including access control.
Yoshikawa Kogyo will continue to contribute to corporate activities and the development of society through ICT solutions that contribute to improving on-site safety and operational efficiency.
