The Impact of Internal Security Regulations on Employee Efficiency and the Need for Improvement

Introduction

When consulting for companies, I often encounter organizations with extremely strict internal security regulations. Many companies prohibit everything with a blanket approach, while simultaneously neglecting to address areas with obvious security problems. This is a very dangerous situation. In this article, I will examine these issues and propose improvements.

Problems with Current Security Regulations

Overlooked Risks

Many companies assume there are no security problems simply because no incidents have occurred yet. However, this is merely good fortune. Overlooking risks can potentially lead to serious situations.

Rejection of New Technologies

Particularly regarding AI usage, there are notable differences between companies. Some actively utilize AI, while others prohibit it entirely. While the risk of information leakage is real, there is also great potential for improved convenience and efficiency.

The risk of information leakage is real. However, does your company not have other, greater information leakage risks elsewhere?

What Makes Effective Security Regulations?

Balanced Regulations

Rather than rejecting new technologies, a balanced evaluation of risks and benefits is required. For example, utilizing AI can improve operational efficiency, which may ultimately lead to enhanced security.

In our daily lives, do we avoid driving because of the risk of traffic accidents, or give up traveling abroad because we might get pickpocketed? Do we actually practice such risk management?

Reviewing the Current Situation

There is a proverb that says, “The eye cannot see its own eyelashes.” This means we often fail to notice what is right in front of us while focusing on distant matters.

Before adopting new technologies, it’s important to first review the current security system. By accurately understanding current risks and introducing new technologies based on this understanding, we can create a safer and more efficient environment.

Conclusion

Balance is crucial in corporate security regulations. Rather than rejecting new technologies, properly evaluating risks and benefits and reviewing the current situation can create a safer and more efficient environment. To take on new challenges, it’s necessary to first accurately understand the current situation.

I encourage you to review your internal security regulations and implement effective improvements to balance corporate growth with safety.
