Protecting Information
Special importance on the protection of personal information
Olympus has adopted the Olympus Group Information Security Policy and established the Information Security Committee to provide a group-wide organizational framework for measures to ensure information security. Security measures are implemented from the human, material, organizational and technical perspectives. Specifically, access to Olympus facilities is controlled using IC card systems. Corporate servers and PCs are protected from viruses and unauthorized access by means of automatically updated antivirus software, firewalls, quarantine systems, and anti-spam measures.
To raise employees' understanding of information security issues, we have published a security handbook based on corporate rules on the intranet. We also provide e-learning programs for all executives and employees. Another initiative designed to raise awareness of information security is Information Security Month. Lectures and other events are staged during this period to remind employees about the importance of information security. We also draw attention to information security through an active program of education and information activities during the year-end/New Year period.
Olympus handles stakeholders' personal information using appropriate methods and in accordance with the Olympus Group Information Security Policy.
