ISMS certification and P-mark are frameworks for evaluating and certifying a company's information security management system and personal information protection system, and for risk analysis and improvement. In recent years, they have been included in business terms and are considered indicators of whether a company is properly addressing information security and personal information protection. However, since obtaining the certification requires knowledge, labor, and costs, it is currently difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain it. In addition, obtaining the certification is not the end of the matter; it is necessary to respond to the security risks that have been highlighted, and many companies are unsure of where to start and whether their current measures are sufficient.

By providing solutions to reduce security risks identified through risk assessments, the combination of humanities security by SecureNavi and science security by Macnica will simultaneously contribute to improving the security level of the entire enterprise from both the "audit" and "tool" perspectives. We will contribute to the improvement of the security level of the entire company from "audit" and "tool" perspectives.
