A Leading Japanese Engineering Firm

Challenges faced by the client

Securing Digital Presence for Trust in the Japanese Market

In Japan, a robust and professional corporate website isn’t just a digital storefront; it’s the foundation of trust and credibility, especially for B2B enterprises. Japanese clients expect comprehensive information about products, services, technological capabilities, and success stories, all presented in Japanese. However, security vulnerabilities can severely undermine this hard-earned trust.

Our client, a prominent Japanese engineering firm, faced this precise challenge. An external security audit revealed multiple vulnerabilities on their corporate website. These posed a significant risk, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate website functions, compromise data, or leak confidential information. Despite the urgency, the client lacked the internal resources to address these critical issues.

Our Solution

We began a thorough consultation, including detailed interviews and a full assessment of the company’s system. The investigation revealed that one of the main causes of the vulnerabilities was the use of an outdated Content Management System (CMS). In Japan, where first impressions and attention to detail are highly valued, a secure and well-maintained website isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for demonstrating corporate reliability.

To strengthen the client’s digital foundation, we implemented the following measures:

CMS Update: We migrated the CMS to the latest version with current security patches, while minimizing any impact on existing content and design.

Compatibility Checks and Plugin Updates: Beyond the core CMS, we verified the compatibility of all integrated plugins and themes, updating them as necessary to ensure a cohesive and secure system environment.

Comprehensive Data Backup: We performed a full data backup as a safeguard against potential issues that might occur during the update process.

The Results

Our comprehensive approach successfully eliminated all identified vulnerabilities, and significantly improved the client’s website security. This not only bolstered their internal security posture but also strengthened their digital presence in the Japanese market, strengthening their corporate credibility and fostering greater trust with their clients and partners.
