In this section, focal actions for Group ISMS and the status of implementation are explained. The Ricoh Group obtained unified certification in December 2004.
The three-year renewal audit came due in fiscal 2007, during which time Group companies in Japan and overseas were re-audited for ISMS conformity.

In Japan, a total of 91 companies have obtained ISMS certification. This number includes all major Group companies such as Ricoh itself and companies engaged in sales, service, logistics and manufacturing across Japan. In the three-year period following the Group’s unified certification in 2004, ISMS became an international standard—ISO 27001. The Ricoh Group realigned to meet ISO 27001 requirements in fiscal 2007 and implemented the RICOH Family Group Information Security Measures (RFG ISMeasures). Having conformed to the revised standard, Group companies underwent a renewal audit. This was carried out separately for each company and each organizational unit from August to November 2007 across Japan.
