Editor's Note
The fiscal 2006 edition of the Information
Security Report comprehensively introduced a variety of undertakings
and explained Ricoh's approach to information security. The goal
of the undertakings is to create a secure enterprise, which in turn
contributes more to the creation of a secure society. The Report
reiterated that information security is not something to be addressed
by a select group of departments or task domains alone. Rather,
it should be viewed as an all-out effort requiring the participation
of all employees.
The fiscal 2007 edition of the Report describes many actual cases
that may inspire and guide employees as they strive to achieve Ricoh's
goal of "spontaneously carrying out information security measures
as part of daily routines."
Information security not only concerns risk management but is also
an important part of information use. Information security can improve
productivity, promote efficiency and reduce costs, thus increasing
corporate value. Looking ahead, we plan to present to readers more
and varied actions in which information security is viewed in a
positive and broader light.
On the occasion of the publication of this Report, thanks are offered
to the people both within and outside the organization who collaborated
with Ricoh by conducting various studies and submitting reports.
