The introduction and operation of AI come with many challenges, including ethics, safety, and legal risks. The international standard for overcoming these challenges and effectively utilizing AI in business is "ISO 42001 (AIMS = AI Management System Certification)." ISO 42001 (AIMS) is a powerful tool for demonstrating proper management and responsible use of AI, thereby gaining trust from customers and society. Our company has been engaged in certification focused on P Mark and ISMS for the past 20 years since its founding. Looking ahead to the future spread of AI, we believe we should work towards ISO 42001 (AIMS). Therefore, we held a seminar focused on ISO 42001, which attracted many attendees. On the day of the seminar, we had presentations from Elcamy, a client of ours that offers AI-related services, as well as from BSI Group Japan, the certification body. Along with explanations from our consultants, we believe we were able to provide an understanding of the benefits of AI, as well as its risks and governance. For those who could not attend, we will be releasing a video that captures and edits the seminar proceedings.

In October 2023, the standard that serves as the basis for the Privacy Mark, "JIS Q 15001," was revised and is now referred to as "JIS Q 15001: 2023 Edition." As of 2025, the current Privacy Mark examinations, both for acquisition and renewal, will be conducted based on the new examination criteria corresponding to this JIS Q 15001: 2023 Edition. To ensure that everyone is well-prepared, our company will hold a Privacy Mark renewal seminar. In this seminar, we will carefully explain the sharing of the latest information, how to prepare for examinations under the new criteria, and key points. Past seminars have received great acclaim, and many participants expressed a desire to "learn more." This seminar will cover content similar to the "P Renewal Seminar" held in April, July, and October 2024, but it will be further enhanced, with ample time allocated for questions and answers to address your doubts and concerns. We invite all Privacy Mark personnel to gather together.
