Fuji Xerox Obtains
BS7799 Network Security Accreditation

Fuji Xerox received the BS7799 Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification on January 23 from JACO (Japan Audit and Certification Organization for Environment and Quality), which works as an auditing and certification organization for UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)^* in Japan. Initially, Fuji Xerox was chosen as a pilot company to undergo testing for BS7799 certification.

Fuji Xerox received the BS7799 certification for Xnet, Fuji Xerox 's extranet that adopts PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technology. Xnet offers a secure environment for its business partners to conduct business over the Net using digital signatures for e-mail and encryption for its network services.

In November 2001, Fuji Xerox took its PKI technology one step further by introducing SDES (Secure Document Exchange Services), which combines Fuji Xerox 's unique PKI technology and management knowhow in two packaged services including a digital document certification service and a document distribution service that users can access from a client Web browser.

The achievement of BS7799 is expected to set a high standard in net security for Fuji Xerox to strive for even higher quality in its information security management systems.
