●Cybersecurity oversight system
The Group established a risk control system based on the “Basic Policy on Sompo Group ERM (Strategic Risk Management)” set out by the Board of Directors, and classifies risks that may have a significant impact on the Group as “material risks”. The Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) carries out an exhaustive assessment of risks of each business, regularly reports the risk management status to the Managerial Administrative Committee (MAC), Board of Directors, etc. and verifies the efficacy of countermeasures taken. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) is in charge of taking countermeasures for system failures, including cyberattacks, as material risk at the Group ERM Committee.
It is essential to address cyber risks that increase in response to technological advances and changes in the environment to deliver “security and health” which the Group values to customers, business partners, and shareholders. We also established the "Basic Policy on Group Cybersecurity", and are trying to establish an efficient and effective cyber risk management system for the entire Group based on the understanding that cybersecurity initiative is corporate social responsibility.
Moreover, we established a Cybersecurity Group as a specialized organization in the IT Strategy Planning Department to deal with cyber risks that are becoming more sophisticated and complicated every day, and are working on developing strategies and strengthening security across the Group. The major mission of this group of specialists is to jointly manage cyber risks with the persons responsible for cybersecurity at each Group company in both normal times and emergencies, and improve the levels of maturity on a Group-wide basis, while carrying the function of the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) of SOMPO Holdings.
We will closely align cybersecurity with business strategy and IT strategy, turn it into competitive advantage in each business, and realize digital transformation in a secure and safety manner.
