Today, companies are facing a variety of investigations and risk cases, including legal risks such as lawsuits and compliance violations in Japan and abroad, internal control issues that arise through accounting and auditing, and cyber security measures such as information leaks due to external intrusion. In recent years, as seen in cases where third-party committees have been established, there is a demand for quick reporting, even when the volume of data to be investigated is large.
In response to these circumstances, FRONTEO has established two facilities in its legal technology business since its founding in 2003: the Discovery Operation Center (DOC), which provides support for discovery (a system for disclosing evidence in international litigation), and the FOC, which conducts fraud investigations using digital forensics (electronic forensics). (Forensic Operation Center), which conducts fraud investigations using digital forensics (electronic forensics), have been integrated as the LegalTech AI Lab. With the opening of this facility, we will be able to handle areas beyond forensics and discovery, and provide a wide range of companies with early detection and resolution of problems by maximizing the use of the latest technology, including our proprietary AI engine KIBIT and KIBIT Automator series, and our investigative capabilities and know-how in legal affairs and internal control that we have cultivated over many years, We provide early detection and resolution of problems to a wide range of companies.
In discovery, records that were once stored on servers and PCs are now stored in the cloud and on mobile devices, increasing the importance of cutting-edge digital forensic investigation techniques, such as combining data analysis with log-based behavioral analysis.
In forensics, third-party investigations require large-scale data analysis in a short period of time, and the introduction and process management of the latest investigative technologies, such as AI, developed in discovery, is essential.
The number of third-party committees established by listed companies has quadrupled from 20 in 2014 to 80 in 2024. Accounting and financial problems such as accounting irregularities and misappropriation of assets account for the largest number of cases, and the number of cases requiring extensive investigation due to systematic concealment and falsification is increasing.
When a cyber security incident occurs, there is a need to move quickly to confirm the damage, prevent secondary spread, and take the next countermeasures, such as identifying leaked data and intrusion routes.
