Education on marketing risk

The TOSHIBA TEC Group recognizes all information, including sales and technical data handled while carrying out the tasks, as important property, and makes an effort to protect such information from improper disclosure, leakage or use. The Group established a system and rules for information security management, and reviews them in response to changes in the social environment.

Each division is continuously making improvements by conducting self-audits regarding compliance with the internal rules.

e-Learning is used to learn company rules to prevent accidents and ensure information security while handling information. Education is provided to directors, employees, employees dispatched from cooperating companies.

The server is housed in a safe data center, to manage important information and information systems, and take anti-risk measures including disasters. Furthermore, by limiting available information, controlling usage of records and encrypting confidential information including personal data, security is enhanced.

Similar measures are taken at each TOSHIBA TEC Group company, thus, the Group makes a concerted effort to maintain and improve information security.

Export control is aimed at preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other sensitive items to countries and regions of security concern or terrorist organizations. Export transactions of goods and technology that have potential weapons of massdestruction (WMD)/conventional weapons applications are regulated under laws and regulations.

The TOSHIBA TEC Group maintains the basic policy, that, it will not engage in any transaction, which could potentially undermine international peace and security. Under this basic policy, the TOSHIBA TEC Group complies with all applicable export control laws and regulations in countries and regions where it operates (the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law in Japan). The Group also complies with U.S. export control laws and regulations with respect to transactions involving U.S. origin cargos and technologies.

Based on this basic policy, TOSHIBA TEC Corporation has established the "Export Control Program" and built an export control system. Accordingly, the Corporation makes cargo/technology relevance judgments and strict transaction screenings for determining the need for export permission, conducts periodic export control audits, and provides education and support to its Group companies.
