Basic Concepts
Positioning the information security management policy (security policy) as an important management issue, we have formulated basic policies and measures for information security in general and have continued to manage and operate them.
In particular, strongly recognizing the importance of the protection of personal information, we have established personal information protection regulations to strictly manage information and prevent its leakage outside of the company. The officer in charge of human resources and general affairs oversees the management of personal information and takes measures to ensure proper management, including providing educational training to the staff who handle personal information, implementing safety measures, and updating the inventory of personal information.
Personal Information Protection System
Mizuno handles a large amount of personal information and sensitive information through hosting sports events, operating sports facilities, and conducting experiments in the R&D department. To prevent any major incidents, we strive to establish robust systems for protecting this information.
For example, in the R&D department, the Ethics Review Committee, which includes lawyers, members of the Global Human Resources and General Affairs Department, and the Legal Department, discusses rules for handling personal and sensitive information of subjects, ensuring that there are no legal issues.
In June 2023, we revised our internal regulations regarding the handling of personal numbers, such as My Number and specific personal information, to strengthen their protection.
Furthermore, in the fiscal year 2023, there were no significant violations involving the invasion of customer privacy or loss of customer data within the Mizuno Group.
Structure
Future issues to be addressed
Amid growing global regulations and interest in the use of information assets, including personal information, the Mizuno Group will refine its information strategy in group management to adapt to changes and reconstruct more appropriate methods for using information. Specific initiatives include:
- Introducing highly secure cloud services to prevent unauthorized access.
- Implementing more advanced security measures across the global group.
- Establishing a system to prevent security risks in internal and external systems and to respond immediately in emergencies.
- Adapting to and systematizing compliance with the laws and regulations of various countries as our business expands globally.
