Partners with clients to address the critical but overlooked 'human factor'

Safe Harbour K.K. today announced the launch of comprehensive risk management services that address the soft but formidable barriers of communication, culture and cooperation, commonly referred to as the ''human factor''. Under the moniker ''People - Processes - Protection'', trained specialists at Safe Harbour K.K. take leadership of client-initiated projects to strengthen internal controls, attain compliance certification and manage enterprise risk in Japan.

A stable, high-tech society renowned for lifetime employment and low crime, Japan now faces the threat of network security breaches, data leaks, employee malfeasance, and systematic fraud. Multinational corporations struggle to comply with stringent provisions of the recently enacted Personal Information Protection Law and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, commonly referred to as J-SOX.

''The notion that a strong IT department and robust network firewall provide adequate security is outdated,'' counsels John Reilly, Director of Sales and Marketing. ''Your organization's survival hinges on the people and processes put in place to protect it. People are analogue, so internal controls must address the soft issues of culture, communication and cooperation, particularly in Japan.''

Safe Harbour K.K. leverages the expertise of certified information security specialists supported by a deep bench of regulatory compliance, business continuity and organizational change consultants working hand-in-hand with local staff of multinational corporations to seamlessly manage organizational process change across a wide range of industry sectors.

''Safe Harbour K.K. provides comprehensive certification support, audit preparation and change management services to raise awareness, foster consensus and garner cooperation of even the most reluctant employees,'' says Felix Beatty, Director of Enterprise Risk Management Services. ''Don't sit still as the time bomb ticks away.''
