Information Security Policy

ORIX Group recognizes that risks related to information security are important management issues and strives to manage information assets securely by establishing this information security policy and by protecting "information" appropriately.

Introduction

Information security is the protection of information assets against the risk of loss, operational discontinuity, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, inaccuracy, inaccessibility and damage, or the absence of due care in its protection.

These risks come from threats such as external attacks (cyberattacks), intentional or accidental insider human acts, and natural disasters.

"Information Assets" contain "information" and all “business processes” and "information systems" that handle information. And “Information" includes that recorded on paper or media too.

“Information” is of vital importance to ORIX Group and therefore securing our technology to protect our customer, employee and ORIX Group information is a top priority.

The business processes rely on information that has an appropriate level of

  • Availability, ensuring that information is available when required.
  • Integrity, safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information.
  • Confidentiality, ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to do so.

Continuity, authenticity and nonrepudiation are important characteristics for certain information. If information is affected, either by accident or intentionally, ORIX Group may suffer financial, operational or reputation loss. For this reason, ORIX Group is committed to identifying and controlling information security risks.

Information security is a responsibility of all employees, contractors and employees of external parties that provide services to ORIX Group. Information security is achieved by implementing a suitable set of controls and behaviors focused on people, processes and technique. The implemented set of controls reflects the way ORIX works internally and also contributes to the quality of (information) services to customers. Controls are established, implemented and improved where necessary.
