Governance and Resources
We are working to strengthen IT governance to ensure information security, IT compliance, and business continuity across the entire Hitachi Group.
In addition, we are accelerating the reallocation of IT resources, training, and the securing of diverse talent, and advancing the globalization of IT talent.
Establishing IT Rules and Standards
Aiming to reduce internal IT risks, we have established requirements for IT controls and IT architecture for BUs#1 and Hitachi Group companies as IT rules and standards to achieve information security, IT compliance, and business continuity.
Ensuring IT governance throughout the entire Hitachi Group
To support global business through internal IT, it is important to meet requirements such as information security, IT compliance, and business continuity, while reducing IT risks and costs. The Hitachi Group has BUs and Group companies of various industries and sizes located worldwide. To implement effective governance for these companies, it is essential to establish consistent requirements.
Therefore, we have formulated “IT Principles” as universal guidelines that can be accepted by the IT departments of all BUs/Group companies, regardless of region, industry, or scale. Furthermore, we have established IT rules and standards for the entire Hitachi Group, which include requirements for “IT controls” focusing on IT risk measures, and “IT architecture” for IT standardization.
Furthermore, we have formulated and are operating the Hitachi Group IT Governance Framework, which is a framework to ensure IT governance across the entire Hitachi Group. This includes the provision of IT services based on standards and verification through internal audits.
