Box usage status is unclear, requiring appropriate management of information assets

Kanematsu is a general trading company with a history of over 130 years, providing a wide variety of products and services mainly in the four fields of "electronics/devices," "food," "steel/materials/plants," and "vehicles/aviation." It is expanding. Currently, under the medium-term vision "Future 135," based on the trading business, we are also actively engaged in innovation investments that will lead to next-generation businesses that utilize digital technology.

The company decided to fully adopt Box in 2019 with the aim of reforming work styles, and in spring 2020, with Macnica 's support, the cloud storage service ``Box'' was introduced company-wide. By creating an environment where files can be accessed smoothly from inside and outside the company, convenience has greatly improved, making it possible to continue business in a manner close to normal even under the movement restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. However, with the expansion of telework, he was concerned about whether individual employees were handling data appropriately. ``At the Company, except for cases where you are unable to use Box due to unstable internet conditions, such as when you are on a business trip overseas, we generally store confidential information on PCs provided by the company.'' Downloading is not permitted, but even with these rules in place, it cannot be said that there will be cases where information is inadvertently taken out.Furthermore, if an employee loses their PC, it is important to check whether important data has been downloaded or not. In recent years, business partners involved in the supply chain have been requesting clarification regarding the appropriateness of handling of information assets, and in order to respond to these requests and trust, We thought it was necessary to visualize the user's operation status."
