In order to prevent the leakage or unauthorized use of any information, including not only documents and electronic
data, but also know-how owned personally by employees, the Hitachi Cable Group takes a comprehensive
range of measures, including hardware and software countermeasures, improvement of control rules and education
of individual employees, making thorough efforts to establish and maintain the information security control
system.

Information Security Management System |
Our Group sets forth various regulations and rules regarding
information security and personal information protection,
including "Information Security Basic Policies" and
"Hitachi Cable Personal Information Protection Policies"
and ensures that every employee is familiar with them.
In promoting the information security management
system, the Information Security Committee has been
established since FY2005. The committee has been
engaged in such activities as the establishment of rules
and systems to properly manage internal and external
important information, including personal information in
addition to the provision of educational tools.

Information Security Education and Awareness-Raising Activities |
Hitachi Cable focuses its efforts on a wide range of educational
and awareness-raising activities, including information
security education through e-learning for the
employees of Hitachi Cable and its domestic and overseas
Group companies.
In order to further enhance information security awareness
among all Group employees, the company has designated
February as "Information Security Month" since
FY2009 and conducts education and awareness-raising
activities about in-house rules related to information security
and reviews of information management conditions.
Also, in FY2010, Hitachi Cable provided employees of
overseas Group companies with an educational program
to facilitate the prevention of information leaks.

Information Security Measures |
In order to reduce the risk of information leakage, the
Hitachi Cable Group has implemented various information
security measures, focusing on the three aspects of
computer systems and networks, human resources and
physical environments.
In FY2010, we adopted a stricter rule prohibiting the
use of company PCs outside company venues. Also, as
a measure to prevent information leaks via the Internet,
the Company reinforced its Internet filtering system. This
reinforced system limits the access to certain websites
from company PCs, effectively preventing information
leaks via the Internet. Meanwhile, we have received
Promissory Letters Concerning Information Leak
Prevention from our business partners who handle confidential
information of our customers.
