Progress Co., Ltd. Achieves ISMS ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

Progress Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is proud to announce the receipt of the ISMS (Information Security Management System) certification for the international standard "ISO/IEC 27001:2022" and the domestic standard "JIS Q 27001:2023" as of April 17, 2026. This achievement reflects the company's relentless dedication to securing customer data, having received the highest recommendation with no non-conformities during the initial certification audit.

Background of Certification: Security as Quality, Not Cost

At Progress, we believe in delivering new value through robust commitment, positive momentum, and solid technical expertise. Recognizing the importance of safeguarding invaluable information assets, the company has long prioritized the enhancement of information security. We view information security not as a cost but as one of the highest qualities we offer to our clients. This perspective informs our continuous internal system enhancements and independent evaluations, ensuring their effectiveness and providing customers with peace of mind through the ISMS certification.

This certification is not merely a compliance measure; it symbolizes our mission as a trusted partner, handling client information securely by considering security as a value rather than a cost. We are committed to continuously investing management resources, including personnel and budget, to establish a resilient foundation of trust.

Comprehensive Certification Scope Covering All Services

The obtained certification is not limited to specific departments or services; it encompasses a wide range of business areas, including contracted development, operation maintenance, commercialization support services, and the development and maintenance of our own products such as acom, Sysmori, and Raiko. We maintain a consistent security level across all services, ensuring customers can use them with confidence.

A Perfect Balance of Full Remote Work and International Standards

Progress employs a full-remote working model, with engineers located nationwide. Our efforts to improve working styles have been recognized with several awards, including the "Shining Telework Award" and being named a "Telework Top Runner" by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The acquisition of this certification confirms our ability to seamlessly integrate a flexible working style with internationally mandated information security controls.

Zero Non-Conformities: A Testament to Effective Information Management

During the initial certification audit, we achieved an exceptionally high compliance rating with zero non-conformities, both major and minor. This validates that our operational practices extend beyond mere documentation, meeting international standards at a practical level. The high awareness among our staff has become entrenched as an organizational discipline. This robust independent operation ensures that we can consistently deliver stable service quality, even in a flexible, fully remote environment, as a partner safeguarding our clients' invaluable assets.

Future Prospects

We view the achievement of this certification as a new starting point. Progress will continue to improve the ISMS and strive to deliver safer, more reliable services.
