What It Is

Compliance Management Co., Ltd.（株式会社コンプライアンス・マネジメント） is a professional consulting firm based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Established in 2004, it focuses on support for obtaining and renewing Japan’s PrivacyMark（Pマーク） certification, as well as compliance with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information. It is closer to a compliance consulting and training provider than a standard SaaS or enterprise software product.

Core Capabilities

According to its official website, its services cover first-time PrivacyMark certification, biennial renewals, drafting and revising PMS documents, personal information registers, risk identification and analysis, employee training, internal audits, management reviews, application preparation, document review support, and remediation for findings from on-site inspections. For renewals, it also reviews past operational status, fills gaps where required measures were not implemented, and helps optimize rules that are overly burdensome or not aligned with actual operations. On the training side, it supports instructor dispatch, customized training programs, sales of training materials and test questions, and also provides support for personal information incident response and outsourced audits of contractors.

Pricing and Delivery

Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The website states that quotes are provided based on the customer’s situation, company size, timeline, and required support scope. Packages include 取得フルサポート, 短期スピードプラン, individual lecture courses, and 更新フルサポート. Full-process support for initial certification is typically estimated at around 6-10 months. Delivery methods include visits, on-site support at the customer’s premises, online meetings, email, and phone. The company emphasizes that there is no set limit on the number of meetings or consultations, and that installment payments are available with no upfront retainer required before the project starts.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its highly vertical positioning: it offers a complete service chain around PrivacyMark, including initial certification, renewal, training, documentation, and review-response support. It also emphasizes designing solutions based on company size and actual business operations, rather than pushing equipment or unrelated services. The downside is that there is no description of SaaS product capabilities, nor information on APIs, third-party integrations, account permissions, cloud deployment, or similar features. Pricing is not transparent and requires inquiry. The service is also mainly relevant to Japan’s PrivacyMark system.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for companies operating in Japan that need PrivacyMark certification or need to build a personal information protection framework, especially organizations that handle large amounts of personal information, such as software development, internet, cloud services, HR, call centers, payments, healthcare, and logistics companies. For Chinese companies without Japanese operations or Pマーク requirements, its applicability is limited; domestic personal information protection compliance, MLPS, ISO 27001, or GRC/privacy compliance SaaS alternatives may be more relevant. The official website does not provide clear information on access from mainland China or supported payment methods, so these remain unknown.
