NRI Secure Technologies, Ltd. (NRI Secure) announced today the launch of its "Assessment for the Security Measures Assessment System for Strengthening the Supply Chain" (hereinafter, "this service"), which visualizes compliance status with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Security Measures Assessment System for Strengthening the Supply Chain" (hereinafter, "SCS Assessment System") on the security measures execution support platform "Secure SketCH". About the SCS Assessment System and Compliance The SCS Assessment System, scheduled for introduction by the end of fiscal year 2026, is a framework for evaluating and visualizing companies' security measure levels based on common criteria. It aims to reduce the response burden for both clients and contractors in evaluating and visualizing the status of measures, and to improve the overall security level of the supply chain. While compliance with the system is voluntary, clients may request it. Therefore, it is important for each company to understand its own measure status and identify any gaps with the requirements. Overview and Features of This Service This service allows companies to visualize their compliance status with the "★3" and "★4" levels defined by the SCS Assessment System by answering questions provided on Secure SketCH. The process, from account registration and answering questions to interviews, organizing countermeasures, and providing a final report, is conducted in stages and typically takes approximately 3 months (see Figure 1). NRI Secure's consultants, with their extensive experience and expertise, will accurately grasp the current compliance status and provide consistent support, including the proposal of highly feasible countermeasures.
