Its core business focuses on streamlining information management operations that are currently dependent on individuals and complex processes, while supporting companies in making faster management decisions and achieving growth.

The company's customers are primarily Japanese enterprises, and its revenue structure is built on two pillars: the Solutions Division and the Products Division. The Solutions Division generates one-time revenue through implementation support provided by specialist consultants, while the Products Division creates recurring revenue through subscription-based usage fees and licensing fees. This combination establishes a stable revenue foundation.

The business is divided into four main services: the Solutions Division offers "GRC Solutions," "Security Solutions," and "Financial Technology," while the Products Division provides "GRC Products." GRC Solutions improve information management efficiency for enterprise-wide risk management and privacy protection. Security Solutions provide cybersecurity countermeasures and support for ISMS certification. Financial Technology delivers system development and 24-hour support for the financial services industry.

GRCS (Global Risk Consulting Solutions) is shifting its growth strategy starting in 2026, moving away from traditional revenue expansion to focus on increasing the number of client companies. Targeting 2030, the company is concentrating on developing standardized services using AI technology. It aims to repackage its traditional large-enterprise services—previously priced at approximately 30 million yen annually—into offerings around 10 million yen, enabling expansion to a broader customer base. By combining over 15 years of specialized expertise accumulated as a leading independent GRC firm with AI technology, the company plans to standardize solutions for complex business challenges and lower barriers to service adoption.

The company's priority investment focuses on transitioning from expert-led solution delivery to AI-powered products. Through strategic partnerships with external partners, it is integrating advanced AI technology and standardizing accumulated expertise as AI-implemented products to strengthen competitive advantage and expand market share. In the financial technology business, the company is concentrating on full-scale sales of its completed equity total solution and expanding operation services that provide stable revenue.

For new market development, the company is actively expanding from existing large-enterprise clients to their affiliated companies and related organizations. It is also strengthening alliances with business partners and pursuing joint deployment to their customer bases to expand sales channels. In the financial technology business, the company is beginning full-scale expansion into Asian markets, promoting acquisition of overseas client projects and partnerships with local partners to establish a new revenue pillar early.

Regarding technological innovation, the company is strengthening its recurring revenue model and stabilizing earnings through new service offerings such as generative AI solutions and ransomware countermeasures. While continuously developing solutions and products addressing external environmental changes affecting enterprises, the company is expanding its service lineup by identifying partner companies that provide GRC security products.
