Purpose

 Japan has legislation for the protection of personal information, as well as JIS Q 15000, a Japanese Industrial Standard for personal information protection management
systems, and the PrivacyMark system as its private-sector certification scheme.
Another related certification scheme is the ISMS scheme. Both are operated by the Japan Institute for Promotion of Digital Economy and Community
(JIPDEC). The PrivacyMark system in particular has spread as a certification
scheme unique to Japan's private sector and sometimes serves as a procurement requirement for government agencies and major companies. Today, approximately 12,000
businesses have obtained this certification.
 Against this background, Korea has submitted a proposal to the IS0/IEC JTC 1 SC 27 (Information Security) international committee to develop an international standard for PIMS (Personal
Information Management System), and the committee is now considering whether
the standard should be developed. At the international meeting in Nairobi in November 2011, European countries also moved toward accepting
development of the standard, making it increasingly likely that standardization will begin.
 The SC 27 national committee in Japan is currently discussing how the standard should be structured. Depending on the direction of future discussions
and the course of standardization, it is entirely foreseeable that the effects will extend not only to the PrivacyMark system, but also to cross-border data issues, Japan's
legal framework for privacy and personal information protection, and corporate responses.
 We have therefore decided to hold a symposium over 2 sessions, bringing together experts from Japan and overseas to organize the issues
and exchange views.

The 2nd session described below will focus on a panel discussion based on the presentations from the 1st session.
If you were unable to attend the 1st session, we recommend reviewing the presentation materials and recorded video from the 1st session
before attending.
