Launch of NISC Compliance Support Services by Newton Consulting

In response to the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats targeting government agencies and independent administrative institutions, Newton Consulting Co., Ltd. has officially announced the launch of its NISC Government Unified Standards Compliance Support Service set to begin on May 7, 2025. The service aims to assist public institutions in aligning with the NISC (National Cyber Security Center) standards, which establish a unified framework for information security across government entities.

Why Is This Service Necessary?

As cyber attacks become more advanced, ensuring robust information security has become a critical issue impacting national trust and sustainability. In light of these concerns, the NISC has developed a comprehensive Government Unified Standards framework, which outlines a range of requirements from organizational structure to risk assessment and incident response. The goal of this framework is to provide a baseline security level that guarantees a minimum standard across all government departments.

Key Features of the NISC Compliance Support Service

This service is tailored to address the compliance needs of government bodies, independent agencies, national universities, and other organizations mandated by NISC. Here are the notable features:

1. Expert Consultation: Leveraging our extensive experience working with the NISC, we provide consulting services specifically focused on the implementation of security measures that meet these unified standards. Our approach considers the unique characteristics and operational situations of each client, thereby ensuring optimal support.

2. Gap Analysis and Solution Proposals: Through document reviews and interviews, we conduct thorough assessments to identify areas lacking compliance with the NISC standards. Following the assessment, we propose actionable improvements to address these gaps, ensuring clients are equipped to handle self-directed improvements in their security posture.

3. Information Security Policy Development Support: We assist clients in formulating an information security policy that fits their organization's reality. Post-development, we help ensure that the policy remains practical and adaptative for ongoing operation, review, and enhancement in line with actual needs.

Support Scope and Steps

The service outlines a clear framework for support, which can be customized based on specific requirements. The general flow includes:

• - Understanding client-specific needs and designing a compliance roadmap.
• - Conducting assessments and gap analyses.
• - Developing policies and providing ongoing support to adapt to evolving threats.

For organizations targeting compliance with the NISC standards, Newton Consulting is poised to offer essential assistance tailored to their requirements, with consultation periods and pricing available upon request.
