What LRM does

LRM Corporation (LRM株式会社) is a privately held Japanese information security consulting and SaaS firm founded in December 2006 and headquartered in Kobe, with additional offices in Tokyo (opened 2012) and Nagoya (opened April 2026). The company operates a dual-product model: (1) Seculio, a proprietary cloud-based security education platform offering e-learning, phishing-email simulation, supply-chain security questionnaires, BCP/safety-confirmation, and compliance management, which is reported to support 2,500+ organizations across Japan; and (2) professional consulting services for third-party certification acquisition and maintenance, covering ISMS/ISO27001, P-mark (Privacy Mark), ISO27017, ISO27018, ISO27701, ISO22301/BCMS, ISMAP, and the new AIMS/ISO 42001 AI Management System. An ancillary subscription retainer — the Information Security Club (¥4,000-¥125,000/month) — converts one-time certification projects into recurring post-certification support for ISMS and P-mark clients.

The firm's go-to-market is content-and-event-led: it publishes a security magazine, distributes 100+ gated white papers, runs dozens of free monthly webinars (often co-hosted with tier-1 partners such as Trend Micro, MBSD, IIJ, TÜV Rheinland, and Mori Hamada & Matsumoto), and leverages an Amazon #1 bestselling book (May 2026) for executive-level thought leadership. The target buyer base spans Japanese startups preparing for IPO, mid-market firms pursuing certifications for enterprise sales enablement, and large enterprises needing ongoing ISMS/P-mark operations. Customers include named logos such as Nulab, kubell (Chatwork), Works Applications, Works Human Intelligence, Gluegent, Secoss, Digital Line, and Save Medical, distributed across IT/SaaS, healthcare, logistics, and translation services verticals. LRM itself holds ISO27001 (Kobe and Tokyo offices), ISO27017 and ISO27701 certifications (Seculio), and the IPA Security Action designation, using these credentials as both internal discipline and external trust signals. The company is bootstrapped, founder-led (CEO Tetsuya Yukimatsu since 2006), with a leadership team of three — Yukimatsu (CEO), Tsuboi Akito (Director/CISO), and Fujii Tomoyuki (Executive Officer/CCO) — and a headcount in the 51-100 range.
