15+ years in company-wide risk assessment
Since our business alliance with a major general insurance company in 2007, we have jointly developed a company-wide risk assessment system (i-CRAS) using a cloud environment, providing risk assessment services mainly to companies listed on the stock exchange. With i-CRAS, the PDCA cycle can be implemented annually, by its low-cost but quick company-wide risk assessments. We can quickly and efficiently establish an ERM (Integrated Risk Management) implementation system that keeps up with new risks.
