Pre-Mapped to Japan's Financial Security Standards
STRATIUM is developed in active co-operation with Japanese financial institutions to meet FISC guidelines, JFSA cybersecurity principles, and ongoing regulatory requirements.
What is FISC?
The Financial Information Systems Center (FISC) publishes "Safety Guidelines for Computer Systems of Financial Institutions" — the primary cybersecurity compliance standard for Japanese banks, securities firms, and financial institutions.
STRATIUM is designed to directly address key FISC requirements: operational controls, audit trails, data protection, availability and resilience, access control, and ongoing monitoring. Rather than forcing you to redesign your entire infrastructure, STRATIUM layers FISC-compliant controls on top of your existing systems.
FISC Compliance Mapping
| FISC Area | STRATIUM Feature | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Operational Control | Maker-Checker Workflow | Dual-control for risk level changes and critical security operations |
| Audit & Traceability | Forensic-Grade Logging | Cryptographically signed logs with request body hashing for reconstruction |
| Availability & Resilience | Fail-Secure Architecture | Graceful degradation if external services unavailable |
| Regional Compliance | ASF Checking & JST Anomaly Detection | Japan-specific threat feeds, business hours awareness for outlier detection |
| Access Control | Risk/Trust Matrix + Level 4 Hardening | FIDO2 hardware keys, IP whitelisting, session restrictions |
JFSA Alignment
The Financial Services Agency (JFSA) regularly updates its cybersecurity policy expectations for regulated institutions. STRATIUM's adaptive, policy-driven approach — where security requirements are configurable and continuously evaluated — aligns with the JFSA's emphasis on dynamic, risk-proportionate security controls.
Rather than a static security posture, STRATIUM's risk/trust matrix continuously reassesses user trust scores based on behavior, location, device, and time. This dynamic approach directly addresses JFSA principles: appropriate controls for the risk level, continuous monitoring, and rapid response to anomalies.
Compliance Documentation
STRATIUM generates auditor-ready compliance reports automatically. When your next FISC audit arrives, the evidence is already compiled.
Automated Audit Log Export
Complete request/response audit logs with cryptographic signatures in auditor-friendly format
Endpoint Risk Level Documentation
Proof that each endpoint is configured with appropriate risk levels and enforcement policies
Session & Challenge Event Logs
Records of every step-up challenge, hardware key use, and OBO token approval
Incident Response & Anomaly Reports
Automatic detection and logging of suspicious patterns, policy violations, and remediation actions
Co-Development With Japanese Financial Institutions
We are currently co-developing STRATIUM's Japan compliance features with Japanese financial institutions. This means:
- Real-world validation in production environments with actual regulated institutions
- Your requirements shape our roadmap — compliance features you need drive development priorities
- Proven configurations for Japanese regulatory compliance, tested by institutions that have passed FISC audits
If you're interested in participating in co-development, or if you have Japan-specific compliance requirements we haven't addressed, please contact us. We're actively building STRATIUM for the Japanese financial market.
