Initiatives for information security

In 2023, we reviewed all documents regarding information security and formulated an Information Security Policy that clarified our group’s stance and mindset on information security initiatives.

Information Security Policy

Musashi Paint Group (hereinafter referred to as "We") recognizes the importance of social responsibility for information management and has established an information security policy to ensure appropriate information management in our daily business activities, in order to prevent human and financial damage caused by the leak of important information such as customer information, employees' personal information, and our confidential information, and to prevent the loss of society's trust.

1. We will strive to maintain and improve information security to prevent leak by taking effective measures to properly manage important information in our business activities.
2. We will comply with all laws and regulations regarding information management.
3. We will conduct education and training on appropriate information management to officers and employees to raise and maintain awareness of the importance of information security.
4. In the unlikely event of an information security-related leak, and if we determine that the impact of such an incident would affect customers and other stakeholders, we will promptly report the incident to parties concerned and take the necessary countermeasures.

Current challenges and responses regarding information security

No matter how many preventative measures we have for hard infrastructure, there is always the possibility that information will be leaked by careless handling of confidential information. In addition to our preventative measures for hard infrastructure, our group also created Information Security Operations Procedures to supplement the Information Security Policy and raise awareness of information security. The Information Security Operation Procedures denotes procedures for the following 11 items.

1. Legally-stipulated items
2. Confidential information
3. User IDs and passwords
4. Use of computer devices
5. Use of internal networks
6. Use of internet
7. Use of email
8. Use of production management system
9. Inappropriate programs
10. When an incident regarding Information Security occurs
11. Enlightenment

A sustainable initiative: Reuse of PCs

Technological advancement of personal computers (PCs) is so significant that PCs used at Japan sites are regularly replaced with newer versions. Since all PCs within our group are purchased, old PCs are discarded.

The Information System department had been discussing re-using PCs that could become a sustainable initiative. In 2023, more than 60 PCs were replaced. 35 were donated to an educational institution in Nepal, and the remaining PCs were either reused internally or purchased by a recycling company. The proceeds of this sale was donated to the NPO organization “Kamonohashi Project.”

Note that the data on those PCs was completely erased and reformatted to avoid unintentional information leaks.
