Starting in December, Nomura Research Institute will offer companies a paid service that assesses how well employees understand compliance (adherence to laws and regulations). It presents practical scenarios encountered in daily work, with answers submitted on a computer. By next April, when the Act on the Protection of Personal Information takes full effect, the company expects approximately 100 companies to adopt the service.
