Ricoh Hong Kong Limited is proud to be the first company in the document solutions industry in Hong Kong to obtain the ISO 27001 Certificate given by BSI Management Systems. This certification demonstrates how Ricoh has put priority in Information Security Management System (ISMS) so as to protect customers’ business information.
The key concept of (ISMS) is for an organization to design, implement and maintain a coherent suit of processes and systems for effectively managing information security, thus ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets and minimizing information security risks.
“Attaining ISO 27001 certification in the case of Ricoh is certainly no small feat and requires a lot of dedication and teamwork throughout the organization. And the result should inspire confidence to all stakeholders including employees and customers that their information is in good hands,” said Mr Kim Chan, Commercial Director of Asia-Pacific, BSI Management Systems. In fact, the scope of certification of Ricoh is huge. It covers R&D, procurement production, sales and services of a whole range of products and also covers professional services to customers. “Nothing could have happened without the vision and focus on the Ricoh management team,” added Mr Kim Chan.
“As one of the leading document solutions providers, we take into account the element of ISMS when we starting to design, implement and provide solutions and products to our customers so that their important data will be in high level of security,” said Mr Aaron Yim, Managing Director of Ricoh Hong Kong. “We believe by obtaining the ISO 27001, our customers and partners will benefit from increased confidence in our products and doing business with us, which will ensure that confidential and sensitive information is not put at risk.”
In fact, Ricoh Group focuses on creating “a genuine secure enterprise” globally. Ricoh Group obtained unified Information Security Management System certification for Ricoh companies in Japan in 2001 and renewed it in 2006. Ricoh companies outside Japan continue to work hard to obtain ISMS certificate. Ricoh believes consistent information security management that combines protecting privacy and promoting ISMS is being carried out as a cross-organisational endeavor.
