As implementation deadlines approach, the question is no longer just whether to prepare, but how far and how clearly you can prepare in a way that is explainable and auditable. This is increasingly not only an operational issue, but also a strategic management issue. At the same time, increasing cybersecurity controls often makes operations more complex and raises the workload on teams. Especially when strengthening incident response, detection, and defense capabilities, design must include not only deployment but also ongoing operation. SCS compliance cannot stop at “paper-only” readiness; it must be tied to practical risk management that prevents business stoppage. ### EDR and SOC are high-cost, with ongoing operational burden When considering measures such as EDR and SOC for SCS compliance, many organizations face a steep rise in cost and operational hurdles. In addition to licensing fees, continuous labor is required for monitoring and alert handling, rule tuning, and operational procedure maintenance. When including multiple sites, group companies, and partners as part of the entire supply chain, it becomes even harder to articulate ROI, set priorities, and sustain a long-term operating model. As a result, even when necessity is recognized, decisions may stall and implementation may lag. The core challenge is how to design a compliance strategy that is explainable, realistic, and sustainable within limited budget and staffing. ### A Practical Fast-Track for Compliance This seminar will provide a framework for building "explainable controls" for SCS compliance and the process for risk management aimed at preventing business disruption. It also explains how to optimize investment in controls like EDR and SOC while balancing cost and operational load, including prioritization, operating structu
