Cabinet decision on bill to establish security clearance system. If you leak important information, you will be sentenced to up to five years in prison, a fine of up to 5 million yen, and the company you work for can also be fined.
The government is aiming to pass this bill during the current regular session of the Diet, but there are voices from the business community who hope that the "security clearance" system will lead to improved reliability in corporate information management. It has also been pointed out that sufficient consideration must be given to privacy.
