Taking advantage of the know-how, led by MRI, JBS together with Trend Micro and ISID edited the security reference to meet the requirements of FISC security guideline for financial institutions. With this security reference financial institutions and system integrators can develop/operate safe and secure financial systems.

We hope that not only financial institutions, but also large enterprises and governmental organizations will make use of this security reference and shift to cloud utilization for better business efficiency. JBS will continue to promote cloud businesses.

  • New Security Reference is an Excel-like chart to show whether added items in the version 8 of FISC security guideline (137 facility-related, 108 operation-related, and 51 engineering-related) are met in Microsoft Azure and Office 365 services. It also shows how system integrators / users should handle if any action is required.
