The Internal Control Department of Tokio Marine Holdings supervises information security for the entire Group as the controlling department while sections in charge of information security have been established at each Group company. In this manner, the Group is working to build an effective management structure for information security.
Initiatives for Information Security
We thoroughly adhere to information security management rules to prevent information leakages. In particular, each Group company is adopting physical and technological safety-control measures that include locking away customers' personal information and confidential documents when not in use, placing restrictions on taking documents and other items outside the company, and using encryptions and setting passwords for electronic information.
In fiscal 2010, Tokio Marine & Nichido introduced thin-client* terminals for its in-house intranet. Thin-client terminals are not equipped with hard disks and information is centrally managed and deployed from a server, which thereby further strengthens information security.
*A method whereby the PC environment (client OS and applications) for each user is consolidated into and operated by the server
