Welcome to SecureKernel's New Service Launch!

As cyber threats targeting supply chains across the globe become increasingly sophisticated, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is taking proactive steps. Starting from October 2026, METI plans to implement a robust security evaluation system aimed at enhancing supply chain cybersecurity. In response to this pressing need, Slice Cheese Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that its automated security evaluation service, SecureKernel (β), is already fully compliant with the forthcoming evaluation framework, ensuring early readiness for businesses.

Background of the Launch

The rise in cyberattacks on supply chains has raised concerns within various industries. Accordingly, METI aims to elevate the security measures not only within individual companies but also across entire supply chains by involving all stakeholders. To support this initiative, Slice Cheese, driven by the vision of democratizing security, has incorporated the current evaluation criteria into its SecureKernel platform. With our solution, both small and large enterprises can easily assess and visualize their existing supply chain security status, even amidst a significant shortage of security personnel.

Release Details

With the introduction of this service, users of SecureKernel can now evaluate their compliance with METI's supply chain security evaluation framework's star ratings—three, four, or five stars—by simply answering a checklist. Existing users can utilize the mapping charts provided by SecureKernel, integrating frameworks such as NIST CSF and CIS Controls. This feature allows them to quickly gauge their current conformity status, identifying areas that require improvement.

Effortless Compliance Reporting

Creating a compliance report is now just a click away. By answering a series of questions on the platform, users can instantly generate a report showing their compliance rate concerning METI's evaluation framework categories. This simplifies the process of measuring compliance and encourages proactive security measures.

Free Risk Assessment Campaign

As part of our launch, we are offering a limited-time opportunity for businesses to receive a complimentary security risk assessment, taking only one hour. This assessment will help you better understand your current security situation and assist in developing a strategic roadmap.

Sample Risk Assessment Report

Users will receive a categorized report that highlights their evaluation under standards such as CIS Controls, along with a detailed report outlining the current security measures.

Easy Steps for Free Evaluation

1. Sign Up: Submit your application for a free security assessment.
2. Online Hearing: Spend about 50 minutes with our security consultant, who will assess your current cybersecurity measures.
3. Receive Simplified Report: Within about 10 minutes, our consultant will generate a summary report, quantifying your security status and pinpointing priority areas for improvement. We will also invite you to create a free account for ongoing security enhancements.

Note: We recommend having a knowledgeable representative from your internal system present during the assessment due to technical questions that may arise.
