Introducing SCS Evaluation Support Solution by CEC for Cyber Supply Chain Security

CEC Launches SCS Evaluation Support Solution for Supply Chain Cybersecurity

In a world increasingly threatened by cyber risks originating from supply chains, CEC Corporation has unveiled a new service aimed at supporting companies in enhancing their cybersecurity measures. Starting July 14, 2026, businesses can access the SCS Evaluation Support Solution as part of CEC’s Cyber NEXT security services brand.

The Rise of Cyber Risks in Supply Chains

Recent trends illustrate a surge in cyberattacks aimed at supply chains. This alarming evolution underscores the importance for organizations not only to bolster their internal security measures but also to ensure that their partners and vendors are adequately protected. The SCS Evaluation System being developed by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) intends to assess and visualize the security measures in place across various companies within the supply chain.

However, businesses have faced significant challenges in adapting to this evolving landscape. Many are unsure where to begin when addressing these risks, struggle to differentiate between existing standards like ISMS and the SCS evaluation system, and are puzzled about how to address insufficient security measures. CEC's new solution is designed to tackle these pressing issues with proficiency and clarity.

What is the SCS Evaluation Support Solution?

The SCS Evaluation Support Solution offers comprehensive support for businesses aiming to align with the SCS Evaluation System. This total solution provides services that span from visualizing a company’s current security posture to organizing necessary improvements, implementing those measures, and managing ongoing operations post-evaluation.

CEC has cultivated extensive expertise from its Cyber NEXT brand and seamlessly integrates specialized security knowledge with advanced IT technologies to facilitate an effective one-stop solution, ensuring organizations not only meet the SCS requirements but also strengthen their overall security framework.

Key Services Offered

1. Self Security Evaluation
This service assists companies in understanding their own security posture or addressing third-party evaluations required by partners. By providing an objective score, it visualizes where a company stands regarding SCS objectives, highlighting areas requiring attention. Solutions range from a basic score diagnosis to in-depth scanning of IT environments to unveil vulnerabilities and suggest improvements.

2. Full Consulting Services
For organizations navigating the complexities of SCS requirements, this service evaluates existing security measures against SCS benchmarks to identify gaps. Consultants will guide firms through identifying challenges and devising corrective strategies, as well as supporting the execution of necessary improvements tailored to achieving certification.

3. Ticket-Based Consulting
Catering to those already meeting certain security standards, this option allows established organizations to fill in necessary measures efficiently. This targeted approach keeps costs low while focusing on the essential additional efforts required to achieve SCS evaluation.

4. Post-Evaluation Implementation and Support
Utilizing CEC SOC—known for its round-the-clock operational monitoring—and other solutions such as SmartSESAME, CEC can help with not just implementing corrective measures towards certification but also maintaining those standards over time and establishing a solid operational structure to enhance long-term security.
