Dress Code Inc. Achieves Dual Certification in ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC2 Type1

Dress Code Inc. Achieves ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC2 Type1 Certifications

Dress Code Inc., based in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, is proud to announce that it has successfully obtained two important certifications as of May 2025: the ISO/IEC 27001 international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and the SOC2 Type1 report. These certifications are intended to streamline internal and external audits for businesses utilizing the DRESS CODE workforce management platform, ensuring effective evaluation of internal controls.

Understanding ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard focused on establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system. It emphasizes the protection and management of information through three core principles: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This framework enables organizations to manage sensitive information efficiently while utilizing it effectively.

What is the SOC2 Report?

The SOC2 report is a third-party audit report that attests to how service providers, including cloud and SaaS companies, safeguard customer data. Developed based on standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the reports are evaluated and verified by independent auditors such as accounting firms. The Type1 report received by Dress Code validates the design of its internal controls as of the specified date, with plans to obtain the Type2 report in the future, which will assess the operational effectiveness of those controls over a defined period.

Background and Purpose of the Achievements

Since the inception of Dress Code Inc., the founding team, led by CEO Yuki Ejiri, has firmly believed that security serves as the cornerstone of growth. With a commitment to establishing a world-class security governance framework, the company has focused on providing SaaS and cloud services critical to business operations. Recognizing the necessity of creating a secure environment for clients to trust with sensitive information, Dress Code undertook rigorous measures to meet stringent standards. These recent certifications are a testament to that effort, marking a significant step in reinforcing security commitments and ensuring reliability in the rapidly expanding enterprise market.

Future Prospects

Moving forward, Dress Code aims to enhance its security governance framework further. The company is also actively pursuing SOC2 Type2 certification and cloud security standards like ISO/IEC 27017 to provide even greater trust to its clients. Compliance with domestic and international regulations such as GDPR and Japan's APPI will remain a priority, ensuring a secure and dependable service.

DRESS CODE was created to address these issues, facilitating cross-departmental optimization of business processes.

With a product structure combining SaaS and marketplace elements, DRESS CODE tackles operational challenges that traditional single-function SaaS cannot address. Core components include a shared architecture and core database, enabling information collaboration and process design across departments.

Currently, the platform comprises three series: HR Force, IT Force, and GA Force, with plans to expand to a total of six series that will encompass recruitment, projects, and governance. As of now, over 130 companies across Japan and Asia have implemented DRESS CODE, with successful use cases emerging in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
