Fuva X Technologies (FXT), a subsidiary of the cyber security firm Fuva Brain Co., Ltd., has launched the 'SCS Evaluation System Support Service' to assist companies in complying with the 'Supply Chain Security (SCS) Evaluation System' promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Additionally, they have released 'Simple SCS Evaluation Diagnosis,' a free AI-driven web tool for assessing current security levels.
### Background In March 2026, METI announced the policy for the SCS Evaluation System, with applications expected to open by the end of FY2026. As it is anticipated that major companies will require their contractors to obtain these security ratings (stars) as a business condition, SMEs need to take urgent action. FXT provides these services to help companies that 'don't know where to start' by visualizing their current standing and providing concrete support.
### Key Features of the SCS Support Service 1. **Substantial Measures Centered on Zero Trust** Rather than just checking boxes, FXT implements essential security measures based on the Zero Trust design philosophy, utilizing solutions like Cato SASE and Okta to naturally meet regulatory requirements.
2. **Expert Support** FXT has in-house experts such as Registered Information Security Specialists, CISSP, and CISM, which are expected to be mandatory for obtaining Star 3 (★3) ratings. They offer consistent support from consulting to application.
3. **One-Stop Partnership** Support is available from any phase, including gap analysis, roadmap creation, tool implementation, document preparation, and expert verification.
### About 'Simple SCS Evaluation Diagnosis' This is a free web tool where AI instantly diagnoses a company's current level. It serves as the first step for companies to visualize their security standing for regulatory compliance. URL: https://www.fuva-xtechnologies.co.jp/scs-assessment
