Thorough Information Security
Canon Medical Systems considers information security a critical management issue and has established a management system for group-wide efforts based on the fundamental philosophy of the Information Security Regulations. This system includes measures against internal information leaks, measures against external cyberattacks, security measures for production equipment, and information security education to improve employee awareness.
Additionally, Canon Medical Systems has obtained external certification of ISO27001, an international standard for building and operating information security management systems, for the Information Security Department and Healthcare IT Department.
Canon Medical Systems has appointed a Chief Information Officer (CIO) who is responsible for information security decision-making. The Information Systems Division is responsible for managing information security across the entire group.
In 2024, we conducted information security audits targeting our group companies.

Risk Management and Compliance
Canon Medical Systems Corporation has formed a Risk and Compliance Committee, with the President serving as the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). The committee addresses issues related to the Canon Medical Systems Standards of Conduct, including preventing significant crisis risks, ensuring compliance, and maintaining information security in technical, production, and sales activities. It also collaborates with relevant subcommittees, such as the CPL* Committee, as needed for specific responses to major risk cases. Various departments responsible for risks associated with business activities, such as Manufacturing, Development, Sales, Service, Legal Affairs, and other administrative departments, oversee and support the risk management activities of their respective departments and group companies within their respective jurisdictions.
Moreover, each department and group company independently establishes and operates its risk management system within this framework, reporting the outcomes of its activities to the Risk Compliance Committee. The Risk Compliance Committee receives these reports, assesses the status of the establishment and operation of the risk management system, and resolves the results of that evaluation at a Board of Directors meeting.
*CPL: abbreviation combining CL (contractual liability) and PL (product liability)
