Information Security (GMO Cloud ALTUS)

Acquisition of the Cloud Services Information Security International Standard "ISO/IEC 27017:2015"

GMO GlobalSign Holdings K.K. (President & CEO and Executive Officer: Aoyama Mitsuru; URL: https://www.gmogshd.com/) acquired, as of October 30, 2018, the certification for "ISO/IEC 27017," the international standard for information security relating to cloud services, for its public cloud service "GMO Cloud ALTUS."

In addition, our renewal audit has certified that we conform to the "ISO/IEC 27017:2015" standard.

In addition to technical initiatives, initiatives on the systems side are also important for information security measures. Regarding these systems, "ISO/IEC 27001" (ISMS), the management system standard for information security as a whole issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), sets out the matters that organizations should address. Furthermore, there is a dedicated guideline standard for information security controls for cloud services, "ISO/IEC 27017." By reinforcing the "ISO/IEC 27001" initiatives with "ISO/IEC 27017," we can build an information security management framework that also addresses the security risks specific to cloud services.

Accordingly, as part of the reinforcement measures for our information security management framework that we have continuously pursued since acquiring the "ISO/IEC 27001" certification in 2006, we acquired the "ISO/IEC 27017" certification in order to respond even better to the requirements demanded of cloud services.

Treating this as a single milestone, we will continue to promote the reinforcement and operation of our internal management framework, including the information security of our cloud services, and will strive to provide services that stay close to our customers.
