Data Protection & Compliance
Data protection is a governance obligation, not just a technical control. JLYPCG helps organizations operating in Japan and the Asia-Pacific region secure sensitive data and demonstrate compliance—under Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), sector-specific regulation, and client contractual requirements—without slowing the business down.

Data Governance & Classification
Most data protection failures start with a simple gap: nobody has an accurate map of where sensitive data actually lives. We help you build and maintain that map—classifying personal and confidential data across on-premise systems, cloud services, and third-party vendors—so that controls can be applied where the risk actually is, not just where it's convenient to audit.
Regulatory Compliance (APPI & Sector Frameworks)
For organizations operating in Japan, compliance means alignment with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), APPI's cross-border transfer requirements, and any sector-specific rules that apply to your industry—alongside international frameworks like GDPR where your business has EU exposure. We translate these obligations into concrete technical controls and help internal audit and legal teams demonstrate compliance with evidence, not assertions.
Data Encryption & Key Management
Sensitive data should be unreadable to anyone who shouldn't see it—at rest, in transit, and in backup. We review and implement encryption architecture and key management practices so that a stolen laptop, a compromised cloud bucket, or an intercepted transfer does not become a disclosure event.
Cloud Data Security
Misconfigured cloud storage and overly broad access permissions remain one of the most common causes of large-scale data exposure. We assess cloud data architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, tightening access controls and monitoring so that data protection holds up as your infrastructure scales.
