Information Security

Treating information as assets, and working to ensure information security

Basic Policy

Information security is one of the most important issues for any company that wants to effectively utilize all the types of information in its possession. Konica Minolta treats information as a valuable asset, and is working to ensure information security. It does this by practicing proper information management to address risks such as loss, leakage, or destruction of data, while carrying out continual improvements.
As part of this effort, Konica Minolta is working to obtain ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for information security.

• Konica Minolta Information Security Policy

Promoting Information Security

Through risk management for information assets, Konica Minolta has been working to improve the IT security level at Group companies worldwide.
Konica Minolta aims to ensure information security (confidentiality, completeness, and availability) by expanding the scope of information being managed beyond IT to include printed materials, services and personal authorization. In order to achieve this, the Konica Minolta Group established a plan for obtaining ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for information security management. The plan began in fiscal 2006, and is being completed in three terms.
In fiscal 2008, Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc., four business companies, two common function companies, and a number of affiliates obtained the certification according to the plan. Consolidated certification for all 31 Group companies in Japan is scheduled for completion in the first half of fiscal 2009. Group companies in China are also working on individual activities for ISO 27001 certification.
IT security control is part of the IT controls required by Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Law (J-SOX). The Konica Minolta Group is taking measures to ensure consistency in these controls as well.

Export Control for International Peace and Security

Ensuring strict export control to help maintain international peace and security

Today there is heightened concern over weapons of mass destruction and terrorist attacks. Japan's Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law regulates the trade not only of weapons, but also of products and technology that could be used to create weapons. When exporting a product, part, or technology, companies are required: (1) to determine whether or not it is an advanced technology or technology product that could be used for weaponry as listed under international agreements (applicability determination); and (2) to check the recipient and the intended use for any risk of it being used for the development or manufacture of weapons of mass destruction (transaction screening).
To comply with such regulations, the Konica Minolta Group has established its own Export Control Code for Security Purposes, and has created a control system for Group companies in Japan. In addition to careful applicability determination and transaction screening, Konica Minolta conducts internal audits and thorough training of employees for export control.
