(Code number: 2158 TSE Mothers)

TMI Privacy & Security Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tetsuya Oi, hereinafter TMI P & S) and FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) Based on the legal tech AI technology provided by FRONTEO, combined with TMI P & S's forensic consulting established by lawyers, problems that may cause social damage or damage in some way, such as corporate misconduct and corporate crime. We will start jointly providing the "Detection of signs of non-compliance and internal fraud investigation using AI" service to investigate together with companies.

 

In recent years, various types of scandals and corporate crimes have occurred in various companies.Typical examples include non-compliance such as sexual harassment / power harassment, criminal acts such as quality / inspection camouflage, and legal violations such as fraudulent accounting and leakage of personal information. In some cases, an in-house investigation may be completed as an "accident", and in other cases, an investigation by an expert composed of an external third party may be required due to the development of a "scandal".It is important how to detect and deal with fraudulent buds before they become scandals.

 

Therefore, TMI P & S and FRONTEO have formed a "peacetime response solution" that detects fraudulent buds at an early stage, and an "internal investigation committee" and "third-party investigation committee" in the event of a scandal. , We have agreed to jointly provide fraud investigation services for companies by establishing a cooperative system to provide "emergency response solutions" for investigating the cause and formulating recurrence prevention measures.

 

[Overview of peacetime solutions]

First, after confirming what kind of information management is done in the company, we will simulate a fraud investigation assuming an emergency.In the simulation, we will hear the person in charge, determine the scope of the investigation target (mail server, file server, etc.), identify bottlenecks in information management, check the work procedure, etc., and consider future improvement measures.Improvement measures include reviewing information management regulations and introducing email audits (constant monitoring or spot monitoring, which can be selected according to needs) as part of the compliance program.

  • Preparation for implementation support:Consulting on the necessity and scope of audits and the timing of audits.Explain the need for simulation and formulate the scope
  • Document and information management advice:Support for reviewing data storage period, disposal flow, and information management rules
  • simulation:Based on the scope determination, actually collect data, identify bottlenecks, and check work procedures.
  • eEmail audit (Note1):Two are available: "Email Auditor" (a constant email audit solution that can be used in the cloud / on-premises) and "saki-mori" (a spot-type email audit solution that operates in a cloud environment).Based on preset teacher data, we collaborate with companies to develop teacher data and realize more accurate email audits.If you find data that you think needs to be investigated, you can quickly change it to an emergency response.

 

 

[Outline of emergency response solution]

The emergency response solution (internal fraud investigation) mainly consists of three stages: 1) confirmation of facts, 2) investigation of the cause, and 3) formulation of recurrence prevention measures. Through collaboration between TMI P & S and FRONTEO, an "in-house investigation committee" and "third-party investigation committee" can be formed to provide a one-stop solution for investigating the cause and formulating recurrence prevention measures. It is now possible.

  • Confirmation of facts
  • Scope:Formulation of survey subjects and survey scope
  • Formulation of recurrence prevention measures:Support for reviewing information management rules, support for introducing e-mail audit solutions
  • Digital forensics:Log files, data analysis, report creation in various devices and systems including PCs and smartphones
  • Virus Infringement Investigation / Dark Web Investigation:Conducted virus infringement investigation using "CyCraft AIR" (manufactured by CyCraft, provided by Sprout Co., Ltd.) that can comprehensively investigate a large number of endpoints in a short time.We also investigated whether there was any information leakage on the dark web.
