Information Security Management Framework

NuFlare Technology regards information security as an important control item and has in place an information security management framework in which the president of the company is appointed as the “Chief Information Security Officer” and the head of each department as an “Information Security Officer.” The Chief Information Security Officer is given full control over the maintenance and management of information security and chairs the Information Security Committee, while the head of each department is responsible for information security in his or her department as an “Information Security Officer.” The roles and responsibilities of the Information Security Committee include establishing information security policies, constructing an operating structure for the maintenance of information security, and monitoring the operating status.

Information Security Management Framework

Information Security Checks and Audits

With a view to ensuring information security, NuFlare Technology has the “Information Security Officer” of each department perform periodic self-audits of how information has been controlled and handled in the department, in accordance with relevant rules and report the results to the “Chief Information Security Officer,” who will examine and evaluate the reported results, give improvement instructions when deemed necessary, and monitor the progress with improvement.

Information Security Measures

NuFlare Technology classifies information security control measures into four categories: “organizational,” “personal and legal,” “physical,” and “technical” measures.

  1. The purpose of “organizational” control is to construct and maintain a framework to implement the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) cycle by making structural improvements and following the procedure of developing, implementing, auditing, and reviewing control measures.
  2. “Personal and legal” control involves obtaining written pledges from regular and temporary employees and concluding non-disclosure agreements with business partners in relation to company information of NuFlare Technology and preventing infringements of rights caused by mixing of information in relation to information of other companies.
  3. For “physical” and “technical” control, NuFlare Technology categorizes company information in accordance with the level of confidentiality. It implements different control measures for different categories, including selecting appropriate storage facilities and recording media and restricting access to information. How company information should be handled is determined in detail through “physical” measures, while security control standards are established for information equipment through “technical” measures.
