Japan’s Financial Institutions Strengthen Security Measures

=====================================================

In a bid to enhance financial stability and prevent cyber threats, Japan’s financial institutions have been working closely with regulatory bodies to strengthen their security measures. The Financial Information System (FISC) has played a crucial role in this endeavor, providing guidelines and best practices for the industry.

FISC: A Key Player in Japan’s Financial Security

Established in 1987, FISC is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the secure use of financial information systems in Japan. With its headquarters in Tokyo, FISC has been working tirelessly to develop and disseminate guidelines on computer system security, data protection, and risk management.

Guidelines and Best Practices

FISC’s flagship publication, “FISC Security Guidelines on Computer Systems for Financial Institutions,” is a comprehensive guide that outlines best practices for financial institutions to ensure the secure operation of their systems. The Eleventh Edition, published in January 2024, provides updated guidance on topics such as:

  • Cloud computing
  • Data encryption
  • Incident response

Another key publication is “FISC System Audit Guidelines for Financial Institutions,” which provides guidelines for conducting internal audits to identify vulnerabilities and improve system security.

FISC also publishes English-language guides and reports, including:

  • “The Guide for Financial Institutions to Implementing TLPT (First Edition)”
  • “Report of the Council of Experts on FinTech in Financial Institutions”
