"Not forgetting peril in a peaceful state of living" is an ancient proverb that we believe best exemplifies the security situation in today's Japan. On a day-to-day basis Japan is still one of the safest countries in the world. However, the world is changing and Japan is changing with it. Corporations in today’s global economy now face risks far greater in both complexity and severity. This is due to their dependency on advance technologies and communications networks, and their presence in a variety of foreign countries.
It is no longer appropriate or prudent to limit one’s view of business risks to the confines of one’s own corporate body. Corporations owe it to and are often legally committed to shareholders and clients to know and protect themselves against multidimensional risks that are created in today’s interconnected world. The challenge becomes one of not only mitigating global risks, but mitigating the impact of an untoward event should it occur. It becomes particularly difficult for corporations operating overseas and facing very different cultures, standards of business ethics, and business law.
To adequately protect a company’s tangible and intangible assets throughout their business network, a security and risk management strategy must be aligned with the overall business drivers and strategic objectives of the client. H&A is one of the world’s few firms able to provide this level of consultative service. Our strategic and integrated approach is favored by some of the world’s largest corporations operating in diverse and difficult markets around the world . Our global presence, but Asia focus, allows H&A to provide services to corporate Japan in almost every country in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. We understand the cultures, laws, and risks.
